Apps such as Krusader-root-mode and Ksystemlog which are configured

to ask here first as I've seen this behavior before with KDE menu
items, but can't remember the fix. Normal behavior is to get an
authorization dialog and after entering the root password, the apps
would start. This was working yesterday. Now, I just get the spinning
wheel in the task bar for a few moments and then nothing. I've looked
at logs but I can't find any evidence of why this is failing. If I run
the same commands from the command prompt as root, they open just fine.
I'd initially ticked the box on installation, making my self an
administrator. I didn't like the way that turned out, because it wasn't
uniform with regards to which apps would require my own password, or
root's. So, I removed myself from the wheel group. I believe it was
after that that things stopped working. There have also been numerous
updates since the problem started sometime yesterday - so, maybe that
was a cause. I tried a full reboot, and now, things appear to be working.
