Bug Description
I installed the package, kde4-core from the repo. Everything seemed to have installed fine, however, when I choose 'KDE4' from the sessions menu in GDM, it begins to logon (shows splash /w hard drive icon) then an error message presents itself with the title-mentioned error.
Here is the output of qdbus (if it helps):

Interestingly enough, when I run:
/usr/lib/ kde4/bin/ startkde from the CLI with sudo, I don't get the error. The splash displays but does nothing further, whereas if I run startkde from CLI w/o root privileges, I get the above-mentioned error. Could it be a permissions problem?
