desktop problem

[Jonathan Engwall]

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.
