Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux One useful thing of linux desktop is the (storical) possibility to launch application remotely and use local terminal only for display purposes. With the new KDE approach it seems that this it isn't possible anymore as a local dbus messaging server is involved (sorry for my lack of knowlegde), but the result is that this service isn't usable anymore. For evidence purpose I attach a session dump where I try to launch before xterm (successfully to highlight that X11 environment is correct) and then I try to launch konqueror then, as suggested by the console I issue the command export $(dbus-launch) and the environment correctly permit to launch konqueror but I have a lot of warning and pc-diego:~ # useradd -m pippo pc-diego:~ # passwd pippo Changing password for pippo.
