Ubuntu guys seem to have changed DBUS related setup, I use the "kde-devel 
user" approach for developing KDE trunk, when I "su kde-devel" i'm not able to 
connect to the old session Bus of my user, thus I created a little wrapper 
script that does that when I fire up Xephyr/KDE4.2 [1]. Have u tested wether 
DBUS actually runs and is accessible via "qdbus" tool on the command line?

Here's my wrapper script:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/dbus-daemon --fork --session
/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session $HOME/kde/bin/nested_kde4 &


You should be able to customize this for your needs
