No such luck, as yet. I still get these messages when trying to startx: |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
xfce4-session: GNOME compatibility is enabled and gnome-keyring-daemon is found on the system. Skipping gpg/ssh-agent startup. |
| 53 |
env: kdeinit4: No such file or directory |
| 54 |
env: qdbus: No such file or directory |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
. Somehow, the remnants of a KDE program are hanging around somewhere. |
| 57 |
I've no idea what qdbus is, or where I've got it configured. |
