 Replying to [comment:5 mk@…]:
 > In fact I have read/compared the patch umpteen times, wondering what it
 was doing. I WAS comparing letter by letter, but I did - for the heck of
 it - not spot the swapped 'u' and 'n'! :-/

 Well it would probably be easier to see the mark, where I hit myself on
 the forehead, when I found this typo...

 > I have reworked your submission a little and committed it in r133661
 (after I had messed up in r133660).

 Thanks!

 > Re the patch content I wonder why you actually call launchctl. dbus
 should be running anyway on MacPorts, once you installed KDE through it.
 OTOH this seems to be a nice way for the app itself to make sure that dbus
 is running, which obsoletes user intervention if you install the
 application including MacPorts/KDE on a new machine... Cool! I think this
 is something which could/should be built into KApplication, what do you
 think!!?

 Yes, the idea is that you don't have to worry about bringing up the (per
 user) session bus, while the system bus should have been taken care of
 during installation. In our case this was really easy to add, as we
 already have need a wrapper to start up correctly. Yes, if this was built
 into KApplication - trying to start the session bus, if it could not be
 connected to - could clearly eliminate one potential cause of grief, when
 trying to run KDE apps. No idea how KDE on Windows is doing this, but
 their installation can be moved to a different machine entirely without
 worrying about dbus.

 Regards

 Thomas
