This qdbus error is due to some reason the dbus session bus started by
.xinitrc die before run the qdbus in /usr/bin/startkde.
Leaving startkde to launch the dbus session bus works but the
plasma-desktop still crashes as before.
Note, this time I have a new dbus related message:
plasma-desktop(1229) getComponent: Failed to connect to the kglobalaccel
daemon QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner", "Could
not get owner of name 'org.kde.kglobalaccel': no such name")
The dbus session started by the startkde remains even after the
plasma-desktop is crashed.
