Ok, forget about kickoff. I meant the entry in the KDE Startmenu, but I found
an example that illustrates it better.
If I type "kdesu xterm" or "kdesu rxvt" in krunner (Alt+F2) and then start
kwrite from there, I get a kwrite window running as root. If I type "kdesu
konsole" in krunner and again start kwrite from there, I get the "couldn't
connect to X" like error.

My Distribution is Slackware. I compiled kde (4.2.1 now) myself.
