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
