DBUS Error with PySide and Phonon

linux 3.8.10-1
dbus 1.6.8-6
pyside 1.1.2-4
qt 4.8.4-16
phonon 1:4.6.0-8

I'm writing a PySide app and using Phonon to interact with a webcam. When I run it:

klauncher(6396) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server. 
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
photobooth(6367)/phonon (KDE plugin): QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Disconnected", "Not connected to D-Bus server")

The webcam works, but the program takes on the order of 20s to start up. I know DBUS is running:

# ps aux | grep dbus
dbus      1189  0.0  0.0  18304  1492 ?        Ss   Apr29   0:09 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile --systemd-activation

andrew   16905  0.0  0.0  18360  1256 ?        Ss   Apr30   0:04 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session
andrew   16947  0.0  0.0  17436   220 ?        S    Apr30   0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3

What gives? I feel like this started happening when I changed my desktop session to be bare i3 instead of i3 + GNOME, but can't say for sure.
