    KDE4 incompatible with remote X sessions?

    I use a laptop as a glorified remote control for my main desktop/media PC.
    I usually have a few ssh sessions open in Konsole and that's fine for most things.
    Sometimes I would need a GUI program displayed back to the laptop from the desktop.


    Until KDE4 came along, that was easy.....

    export DISPLAY=laptop:0
    appname


    But now I get this..........

    steve@hal9000 ~ $ export DISPLAY=laptop:0
    steve@hal9000 ~ $ dolphin
    <unknown program name>(28267)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
    "

    <unknown program name>(28266)/: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.


    I have run xhost + on the laptop.

    I assume I need to get the two machines DBuses talking?


    Any ideas?
Working...
