Description mkkot 2016-06-10 11:54:46 UTC 
Hello,

the application doesn't start, producing no output:

[mk@linux ~]$ kcolorchooser 
[mk@linux ~]$ 

But -h works:

[mk@linux ~]$ kcolorchooser -h
Usage: kcolorchooser [options]
KDE Color Chooser

Options:
  -h, --help                   Displays this help.
  -v, --version                Displays version information.
 ...

This is kcolorchooser v2.0.0 with KDE 16.04.1-1 on Archlinux 64bit.

I have Qt 5 installed and I can see that for example Ark is using it but normally I work on Xfce.

I can see there is no config file, so nothing to delete. I prepared a strace output but I can't read what's wrong.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just run kcolorchooser
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
doesn't start

Expected Results:  
starts or displays anything to help me debug the problem

Hello,

in the bug which is supposedly describing same problem it's said:
"Could you please check if removing "X-DBUS-StartupType=Multi" from kcolorchooser.desktop fixes the issue?"

But I didn't use .desktop file, I used a command kcolorchooser to run the program from the terminal.

Kcolorchooser starts now after update. No idea what was wrong.
