chinese/fcitx at least in conjunction with japanese/mozc and
japanese/fcitx-mozc stops working, too. ;-(

Panel icon on Mate desktop doesn't appear, and input method panel no
longer appears on pressing Kanji key, but fcitx and mozc_server
processes are running. Maybe interfaces via dbus are malfunctioning or
not working.

Rebooting the whole system didn't help.
Rebuilding *fcitx* and *mozc* and reboot didn't help.
Additional rebuilding of *dbus* and reboot also didn't help.

Updating ports tree to after git: f5a0f6f2041d (in my case, actually,
git: 2786eb3dc3bf) to revert "devel/dbus update to 1.14.0" and
rebuilding dbus fixed the issue.


Unfortunately fixing this beyonds my hand though, I suspect

 "DBusServer (and hence the dbus-daemon) no longer accepts usernames
   (login names) for the recommended EXTERNAL authentication mechanism,
   only numeric user IDs or the empty string. See 1.13.0 release notes
   for full details."

entry on document.

Also suspitious would be

 "It is now possible to disable traditional (non-systemd) service
  activation at build-time (Autotools:
  --disable-traditional-activation, CMake:
  -DENABLE_TRADITIONAL_ACTIVATION=OFF). See 1.13.10 release notes for
  details."

but would be some more.

Note that Mate desktop starts fine even if dbus is updated to 1.4.0.
