           Summary: No program will start while runnig as root

Version:           1.4.2 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))

While in the Root Console I am not able to start any KDE programs. I always get an error: 

katzes:~# kate
kate: ERROR: KUniqueApplication: Can't determine DISPLAY. Aborting.
katzes:~#


When I start Konsole as normal user it works fine, although there are too strange messages: 

katzee katzes:~$ kate
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )
katzee katzes:~$ QFile::open: No file name specified
