Meaning you can run dbus-launch and then Alt-F7 back to kdm, choose the kde4 
seesion type & login? I've tried that & it doesn't work. Also tried init 3 
&& /usr/bin/dbus-launch && init5 and that doesn't work either! Am I doing the 
wrong thing there?

If I wanted to rebuild dbus-launch, would I do something like     
http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/src/dbus-1-1.0.2-32.src.rpm  ;
(there doesn't seem to be a dbus-launch package there, perhaps it's part of 
dbus itself?), unpack it (not sure how I'd unpack an rpm tho') and 
run ./configure && make && make install?
 
Cheers,
