+Subject: [PATCH] [startkde] Use dbus-update-activation-environment
+
+The difference to ksyncdbusenv is that d-u-a-e can update systemd's
+environment, too. This is only important if a userspace (dbus-daemon) bus
+is used and service files make use of SystemdService to have dbus-daemon
+tell systemd to start the service.
+
+In the kernel bus (kdbus) case, systemd's environment gets updated when
+org.freedesktop.dbus.UpdateActivationEnvironment is called.
