Workaround :
1) launh konsole as superuser
2) type export $(dbus-launch)
3) kuser

Yet more fallout from the latest dbus changes

Please don't use dbus-launch; use dbus-run-session.

by using export $(dbus-run-session) the workaround doesn't work. Kuser command give me some errors (see enclosed)

It's dbus-run-session kuser. This will terminate the bus when kuser exits.

I wonder why it even needs access to a session bus.
