When plasma don't load I try the following steps * killall plasma-desktop and restart it (sometimes a previous instance didn't close cleanly and dbus is trying to contact it and obviouly fail) * restart dbus/hal (after an update and they were restarted some features from plasma stopped working) * finally once no matter what I've done plasma didn't want to come up, in the end I've to remove all plasma settings ~/.kde/share/config/plasma* (make a backup first!) it seems that somehow they were corrupt and/or a plasmoid didn't load correctly.
