Actually just confirmed that changing the line invoking the tdeinit wrapper to a dbus-launch of the tdeinit wrapper fixes the problem. Since this isn't an issue in the vast majority of distros, it should probably be applied as a patch on the packaging end.
I was about to mention dbus-launch ... but found out you already posted. I was not aware that Slackware is not using dbus. I wonder how this is possible as tons of applications interact via dbus. To me it looks crippled. Anyway, glad you found the solution and raised the issue.
