[Bug 1263270] [NEW] akonadiserver and fcitx doesn't work after starting computer, both processes needs to get killed and restarted then they work fine

[webmarwell]

Public bug reported:

Since updating to Kubuntu 13.10 I have two problems with these
programmes:

akonadiserver starts but doesn't work
A workaround is:
pkill akonadiserver
pkill akonadi-control
aconadictl start

fcitx (an input method for languages, here chinese) starts but doesn't work
A workaround is:
killall fcitx
fcitx

Both programs use dbus. Both problems started after upgrading to 13.10.
Might there be any connection to dBus? It seems, that they start too early, but without any message, that something is missing.

There is as well a bug report at kde.org:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326480

Diverse questions and bug reports mention that Akonadi Server Self-Test
Report shows:

Test 10: ERROR -------- Akonadi control process not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Akonadi control process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup. 
Test 11: ERROR -------- Akonadi server process not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Akonadi server process is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup. 
Test 12: ERROR -------- Nepomuk search service not registered at D-Bus. Details: The Nepomuk search service is not registered at D-Bus which typically means it was not started or encountered a fatal error during startup.
Test 14: ERROR -------- No resource agents found. Details: No resource agents have been found, Akonadi is not usable without at least one. This usually means that no resource agents are installed or that there is a setup problem. The following paths have been searched: '/usr/share/akonadi/agents'. The XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable is set to '/usr/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share'; make sure this includes all paths where Akonadi agents are installed. 
Directory listing of '/usr/share/akonadi/agents':
(...here the installed agents, I didn't check if they are everywhere the same)

I use the above mentioned workarounds since two month, every 1-2 of 4
times after booting akonadi has this problem. Fcitx input method always
has this problem.

I was using KDE 4.11., now using 4.12. I found the problem on the web, appearing in Fedora, Debian, Mageia, OpenSUSE, Kubuntu.
If I can help with any more informations, please let me know how to do it. Thank you!
