Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) OS: Linux kcminit is not installed in Meego and Mer images, at least in the images created by basysKom. Ksmserver tries to contact kcminit through dbus during startup with a 10s timeout, which is always reached according to a debug messages in ~/.xsession-errors. After the first 10s timeout kcmserver, launches klauncher and tries to contact kcminit again with another 10s timeout, which is also reached. In the end ksmserver has a 20s startup because of that. This can also be the cause of some the problems we have with klauncher and dbus since we started to use startactive. That can also be the cause of two kded running during startup. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable debug messages using kdebugdialog. 2. Reboot the system. 3. Check the messages like "ksmserver(439) KSMServer::kcmPhase1Timeout: Kcminit phase 1 timeout" and "ksmserver(439) KSMServer::kcmPhase2Timeout: Kcminit phase 2 timeout" in ~/.xsession-errors. Actual Results: ksmserver starts with a 20s delay, klauncher is started by ksmserver with a 10s delay. Maybe those delays causes the problems with dbus and klauncher too, or even with kded frozen sometimes. Expected Results: No delay in ksmserver and klauncher startups. kcminit seems disabled in all Meego and Mer images, maybe because of the mobile profile used to compile kde-workspace.
