Cinnamon broke Unity and KDE on Ubuntu 13.10

Question

Something after installing Cinnamon has screwed up my ability to use Unity and KDE on Ubuntu 13.10. When I try to log in to either I get an error that dbus could not start. Any ideas what has happened? When I try to log in to KDE I get: "Could not start D-Bus. Can you call qbus?"

Similar or the same as this Q? http://askubuntu.com/questions/360772/unity-isnt-starting-on-13-10-with-cinnamon-2-0-installed?rq=1 — fossfreedom, Nov 11 '13 at 22:02

Try removing Cinnamon from start up:

sudo rm -f /usr/share/upstart/sessions/cinnamon-se*
