gestikk gives libnotify-Message err msg

[pcast]

On start of gestikk -d I get the following error:

gestikk - version 0.6
Usage: gestikk [-c] [-q] [-d]
 -c : launch configuration applet
 -q : don't print this
 -d : Debug Mode
Please DO NOT quit gestikk using CTRL+C, this will quit all child processes.

It will show one OSD gesture and then disappear. I'm running KDE 3.5.9 with python 2.5 on Ubuntu 8.04. Not sure how to get PyGTK

Hello, sorry for the delay,

I suggest that problem is because of KDE. However, libnotify should run under KDE - I'll check that. As a workaround you could use OSD Notification.

I tried it with and without the OSD but no luck. I even tried turning off
Compiz but that didn't work either. Just get the following:
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to connect to socket
/tmp/dbus-hLyZH982eS: Connection refused
Libnotify daemon error!
Segmentation fault

I have a similar problem right now, but with notify-send program, which usually works, but now I'm getting:
libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-eJtVdf3GaZ: Connection refused
So the problem is not in the application, but probably in dbus.
