 During installation, I noticed two messages:
 # launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
 #  'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE'

 I did both of these.  launchctl fails like this:

 $ launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
 nothing found to load

 This is apparently a symptom of having "<key>Disabled</key>" in
 org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist.  To fix that, I found a "-w" flag from
 somewhere on the internet:

 launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

 That doesn't do anything, and there's no process with "dbus" in the name
 in the process table.  If I then run digikam or kanagram or any other KDE
 application, the program just hangs.
