#28338: kdebase4 @4.6.0 - KDE applications don't start

Comment(by habmalnefrage@…):
Finally I got it working.[[BR]]
Here is what I did:[[BR]]
1. I uninstalled everything like described in the MacPorts documentation,
chapter 2.5.[[BR]]
2. reboot[[BR]]
3. Installed MacPorts from scratch, port selfupdate (see chapter 2.3 of
MacPorts documentation)[[BR]]
4. sudo -s, enter password[[BR]]
5. port install kdebase4. The following steps, especially 10 to 14, are
those which I was requested to do after kdebase4's installation. They
might differ in further package versions.[[BR]]
6. launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-
system.plist[[BR]]
7. exit --> this will cancel super user session and continue working as
normal user [[BR]]
8. launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
session.plist[[BR]]
9. 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE' replacing $USER with
my username. I think, it's important not to do this in a sudo-session, but
with the sudo command, since ~ refers to the normal users home directory!
[[BR]]
10. sudo port install python_select[[BR]]
11. sudo python_select python27[[BR]]
12. sudo port load mysql5-server[[BR]]
13. sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5[[BR]]
14. sudo port load openldap[[BR]]
15. I rebooted to start DBus for sure. [[BR]]
Dolphin and Konqueror might work now. The following steps install German
language packs for spelling and KDE4: [[BR]]
16. sudo port install aspell-dict-de[[BR]]
17. sudo port install hunspell-dict-de_DE[[BR]]
18. sudo port install kde-l10n-de[[BR]]
After all of this, Dolphin and Konqueror start as well from terminal
(starting dolphin in dolphin.app's subdirectory)as from dock (link to
dolphin.app/konqueror.app)[[BR]]
'''Note''': This documentation might be helpful for you, but is without
any warranty! I just described how I got it working for me.
