Public bug reported:

In the last startkde update all calls to "qdbus" were replaced to "$qdbus" and was defined like this: qdbus="QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus"
But in dash, the default system shell, running $program would spawn $program literally, without parsing the variebles:


$ dash
$ qdbus="QT_SELECT=qt4 qdbus"
$ if $qdbus >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then echo TRUE ; else echo FALSE ; fi
FALSE
$ $qdbus
dash: 4: QT_SELECT=qt4: not found
$ 

this patch exports QT_SELECT and  starts qdbus in the right way
