kde apps in gnome

I'm not sure what I'm missing here.. When I try using kde apps in gnome they all fail to launch, I'm confused about what Arch needs to run them. I have tried installing ktorrent and rosegarden. I get the same error on both:

/opt/kde/bin/ktorrent 
DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-4702' to 'kded'
kded: ERROR: Communication problem with kded, it probably crashed.
DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-4693' to 'ktorrent'
ERROR: Communication problem with ktorrent, it probably crashed.

I guess I'm missing some depends or something, I tried searching forums and wiki but nothing...

Re: kde apps in gnome

Do you have kdelibs properly installed (kded is a part of kdelibs)?

Try running 'kded' itself and check what's happening.

Re: kde apps in gnome

Have you logged out/in? (I ask this because you're calling /opt/kde/... which indicates that your $PATH hasn't been updated.)

Re: kde apps in gnome

When I logged out/in $PATH was updated and I can call the apps directly, also they got added to the gnome meny.. but guess what? still the same problem
