It's not expected that your kde login not have an active dbus session.  If 
that's really the case, hardly anything will work.

To verify, does this return anything useful?
$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

it should return something like:
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-yC5KUykdT


I guess it's also arguable that kdialog should fail more gracefully than 
crash in that situation too.
