Hi.
I've seen this for some time now but hadn't had the time to look deeper
into it: If I become root in konsole via su I'm not able to start graphical
apps like kwrite or s-c-* anymore. There is no output in .xsession-errors,
/var/log/messages or /var/log/secure, nor in the terminal itself. Also
"reboot" or "halt -p" are not working. Simple x-apps like xterm or
xeyes
are still working fine, though.
Are you using "su" or "su -"?
I don't have any problems here using the second version, it is necessary to
get the environment variables right (read root's profile).
I see this on rawhide, F10 and F9, all with KDE 4.2.2. It doesn't
matter if
I use kdm or gdm, my normal user accout or a clean new one, nor a new clean
installation.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Sebastian
