--- Comment #4 from un...@physics.ubc.ca ---
I disagree. startkde crashing makes the whole system inoperable. That situation
should not happen. If qdbus cannot be found, then startkde crashes. This will
happen if for exqmple the path to qdbus is not in the PATH. On my system, it
is in /usr/lib{,64}/qt5/bin and that is not a directory anyone would expect to
have to be in the PATH. It never hs before and the lib directories should not
be expected to be there.
startkde needs to do a much better job of searching for qdbus than it does, and
needs to throw a far more informative error message if it cannot find it.
To blame the distributors for a crash which makes the system almost inoperative
really should not be acceptable.
Note that there IS an issue. I and many others have had startkde crash on them
because it turns out that /usr/lib64/qt5/bin was not in the PATH. To expect the
user (or even the distrutor) to know this is asking too much of them,
especially when the error message thrown by the crash is incomprehensible.
I cannot reopen this bug, but feel it should be reopened.
