Bug Description

When launching krfb, no vnc server is opened (nmap returns port 5900 is closed).

Then closing krfb and trying to open it again return a box with :

"Cannot find KInetD. The KDE daemon (kded) may have crashed or has not been started at all, or the installation failed."

I launch kded manually again, then krfb. Here is the console output when creating a :

 $ krfb
kded: WARNING: Failed to create avahi client
kded: client.c:751: avahi_client_get_state: l'assertion « client » a échoué.
KDE Daemon (kded) already running.
kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.

This is a kded bug it seems. It also prevents Konqueror from using the cookies and Kopete from connecting to any server.

Trying to launch kded from console outputs :

"kded: client.c:751: avahi_client_get_state: Assertion `client' failed.
Last DCOP call before KDED crash was from application 'DCOPServer'
to object '', function 'applicationRemoved(QCString)'.
KCrash: Application 'kded' crashing..."

I can confirm this.
Installing avahi-daemon seems to resolve the problem.
