it is reproducible 100%

if X is started by command "startx" with .xinitrc like below:
------------
#!/bin/bash
exec startkde
------------

then it gives error like at the beginning plus from terminal we can see:
___________
17:22:30 pawjan@baboon:~$ f-spot
System.Exception: Unable to open the session message bus. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null.

attache you will find also output of command: "strace f-spot"

but when X started by means of "/etc/init.d/kdm start" then it is ok

I am seeing this same error message, although I am not starting KDE with startx, but normally from KDM. So I think, there is a problem either with f-spot or the KDE packages.

I had the same problem. Install dbus-x11 to resolve it. I think that there should probably be a dependency on dbus-x11 by f-spot. The problem is that without dbus-x11 installed the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable is empty. With the empty variable, f-spot doesn't know how to find the session bus.

$ env |grep dbus
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-ZvZLnHIH6V,guid=008017166bdeda5072adf400476f38bf
