Do these files exist on your computer?
If they do not, ensure you have installed kdesupport + kdelibs + kdebase. If they do, then your KSycoca database must be corrupted. Try running it like so "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" which should force it to completely rebuild it.

Could you please post the output of these two commands?
These commands will list all processes containing the name dbus, and get a listing of all services connected to your session bus.

Was that on a virtual terminal, or in a XTerm shell? It looks like it couldn't connect to the X server. If you were doing it in a XTerm shell then try removing the files ~/.Xauthorit*
If you were doing it in a virtual terminal, could you retry in a XTerm terminal ( KDM normally has a failsafe feature for this ) Also could you check for the presence of $KDEDIR and $KDEDIRS if they are set they should be to /usr. Note that if you have a 3.x installation elsewhere then doing this may break it.

I operate on terminal from [ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]. From X I cannon run anything.
I don't have $KDEDIR or $KDEDIRS set, but on my laptop with successfuly running KDE 4.1 $KDEDIR and $KDEDIRS don't set too.

Ok, that means we can't use qdbus then... have you tried moving ~/.kde4 to another location?
Try also removing /var/tmp/kdecache- and /tmp/kde- as well.

Ok. Did you login as your normal user in that screenshot in KDM? ( sorry, I couldn't see it, it was too faint ) I believe that logging in as root doesn't work in KDE 4.
Could you try setting $KDEDIR to /usr explicitly in your ~/.bashrc? Something could be setting it in KDM. Also, could you please post the output of "kde4-config --prefix" before and after running that command? You could also try adding a script to execute Konsole in ~/.kde4/Autostart/ so you are given a console to work with in a X environment.

From there could you try running "qdbus" again. Now that we are in an X session it should work now.
You could also try executing parts of KDE manually. I would recommend trying these ones first if they are not already running:
Regarding the kio_* processes, they are launched on demand as they are needed, one for each connection usually ( in the case of kio_http )

Don't panic about ksmserver failing to start when you asked it to, that was because it was already on its feet and running. So is kded4, krunner and plasma, but they are all failing to find critical *.desktop files needed.
Could you try running systemsettings and seeing which modules are found? If it finds the "Service Manager" module in the Advanced tab, could you please provide a listing of what is there? Are the permissions correct for the files I previously listed?
