Does that mean you are not using the standard konsole, rather a special |
| 26 |
icon intended to open a root terminal? Must be, otherwise it wouldn't |

Try opening a standard user konsole and just use su instead. (Or even, |
| 30 |
heaven forbid, an xterm instead of konsole.) That should detect a KDE |
| 31 |
problem if it exists. |
