DBus doesn't launch, Digikam and other apps hang

[macports.mexon@…]

During installation, I noticed two messages: # launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist # 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE'

I did both of these. launchctl fails like this:

$ launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist nothing found to load

This is apparently a symptom of having "<key>Disabled</key>" in org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist. To fix that, I found a "-w" flag from somewhere on the internet:

launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

That doesn't do anything, and there's no process with "dbus" in the name in the process table. If I then run digikam or kanagram or any other KDE application, the program just hangs.

There is another message that gets printed if you happen to know that you should run "port notes dbus". This message disagrees with the messages printed above. Running those commands makes no difference whatsoever to the result:

mat@Charly:~$ sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist org.freedesktop.dbus-system: Already loaded mat@Charly:~$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist org.freedesktop.dbus-session: Already loaded mat@Charly:~$ ps auxww | grep -i dbus mat 201 0.5 0.0 2425524 156 s000 R+ 8:34PM 0:00.01 grep -i dbus messagebus 51 0.0 0.0 2435368 704 ?? Ss 8:30PM 0:00.02 /opt/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork

Processes still just hang.
