Description Karsten Hopp 2009-06-23 16:13:01 UTC

Description of problem:
I'm running KDE as my desktop and sometimes I need to start another KDE program as root. P.e. 'sudo konqueror' kills my X immediately after pressing OK in the window that informs you that ksmserver can't be started.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kdebase-4.2.3-1.fc11.i586
kdelibs-4.2.3-3.fc11.i586
kdebase-runtime-4.2.3-2.fc11.i586

I can't reproduce, but fwiw, "don't do that!" :)

that's what kdesu is for...

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2009-07-22 13:12:08 UTC

Closing as NOTABUG.
