Hi All,

I have just csup-ed my src tree from 13/01 to 28/01 and am now seeing the same 
problem as Peg. 

If this is as Alberto said "not a new problem" and indeed a KDE issue, then 
why have I not seen this before, and it has only just happened after a new 
kernel and world.

I managed to launch xterm and then konqueror from the shell.
Knoqueror eventually loads after about 2 minutes and gives a title of "Error: 
Cannot initiate the http Protocol"  and the page displays
"The requested operation could not be completed
Cannot Initiate the http Protocol
Technical Reason: Unable to Launch Process
Details of the Request:
URL: http://*********************
Protocol: http
Date and Time: Thursday 29 January 2009 12:26
Additional Information: Cannot talk to klauncher: Did not receive a reply. 
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the 
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or 
the network connection was broken.
Description:
The program on your computer which provides access to the http protocol could 
not be started. This is usually due to technical reasons."

However, I can run dbus-monitor and there are messages flowing through

If I revert back to the old kernel but still use the new world the problem 
seems to go away

Have anyone else seen this issue?

Cheer
Paul
