I've been doing some googling and experimented a bit more - if I run 
sudo /usr/bin/dbus-launcher in a konsole in KDE3 and then run a kde4 app, it 
runs. I tried the same from an xterm with no window manager running and then 
try kdeinit4, but I still get the dbus error.
Should dbus-launcher be added to some conf file to make a kde4 
session work?

Cheers,
