Yes, it seems that dbus support is there but the directories which the OS "cannot find" really are not there. I have installed dozens of packages with "pkg search <qt5 or whatever>" followed by "pkg install <whatever>" that is not really the issue. The issue is the login screen of KDE locks me out. I looked for the launcher itself to tell it to dbus-launch with no real success. I installed KDE with mkdesktop as root. My last guess is that I can launch KDE from a script in root. However there are several directories which really do not exist. Jonathan Engwall
