Not sure I understand this, but Xorg needing it does not imply KDE needing it.
I though that KDE didn't need the system bus unless certain system integration 
features are wanted.

Right.
That's what happens, doesn't it?.
If I use htop, most of the time htop itself is the top entry. Sometimes it is 
X, sometimes plasma (I have a CPU monitor applet running), sometimes an 
application like Akregator.

At the moment the first daemon listed it udev, after init and konversation.

Currently running session daemons are:

D-Bus session bus
gpg-agent
kded
ksmserver
kwalletd
klauncher
knotify
ksysguardd
pulseaudio
nepomukserver
nepomukservicestub
akonadiserver
akonadi_control
3 akonadi resources (distlist, vcard, ical)
dcopserver (for some KDE3 apps, which means I have a second kded as well)
sometime KIO slaves, when KDE apps do I/O

All idling until used.

Cheers,
Kevin
