           Summary: root cannot run kde4 applications from the command
                    line
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.2.4
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: robert.dyck at shaw.ca


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When I attempt to run the install script for printer ( Samsung multifunction )
as root it hangs. If I modify the script to eliminate the test for qt4 and
force it to use its qt3 method, I am able to complete the installation. I had
previously used the script on a kde 3.5.9 system without difficulty.

Further testing showed that kde3 apps and gtk apps could be run as root. kde4
apps could not be run from the cli as root.
