amarok fails to start QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

[Mike Rose]

Ubuntu 14.04 installed on x86_64 PC hardware.

Starting amarok from the CLI and I get:

QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

I've searched around a bit and tried the work-arounds listed such as changing to phonon-backend-vlc from phonon-backend-gstreamer to no avail.
