I had this behaviour too. I have build KDE 3.1.1 on my own and have 
modified the startup script from sun for my purposes.
I just installed the packages from Mathias Meyer yesterday and all 
works fine for now. I can now startup applications as root like the 
users application.
I guess, that this is a permission problem in the startup script - some 
processes are not running with the right permission. But I have not 
checked that.
