python2.5 crashed at boot with DBusException in call_blocking()

[apanthera]

Binary package hint: python2.5

Running Kubuntu 8.10. Upgraded as of 27th of Oct. KDE launches fine, as it finishes python2.5 crashes as well as "kdesudo" pops up with an error about parameters. Neither one seems to affect further system performance on the surface.
