The issue at hand is that the X-Server even fails to display even locally (read: no forwarding), so I assume an argument between my x-server version and calibre or one of its underlying components, I'll push an update once it comes through. Shouldn't take too long, what with rolling release and stuff...
@mariosipad: Your DBus error should be easily explained. DBus tries to open a connection on your OSX system (which does NOT run DBus, or blocks remote DBus messages), and fails.

Yeah, normally it is nice to have a full desktop, I even have one setup on the machine, since I have physical access, but even when trying to use the local desktop, calibre decides to NOT work. Which it did in this configuration, before I installed it on a different machine. The odd one out so to speak, because I tried and installed two other QT programs, and they work ootb with the system supplied libs...
But I'm in the process of getting this to the manjaro maintainer to get some knownledge under the belt and maybe spot what's broke...
The reason I set this up as it is: I'm trying to store my library on the network, and manage it with calibre, trying to evade the command line. Since I have enough spare parts and donated hardware, I've pieced together a headless system so I could run calibre with X-Forwarding so I don't have to go through adding, editing and converting through the command line :F
