I would love to know what causes this problem one day. Yesterday I had this
problem on my system. Under kde3 I could use the run command to run as root and
start root programs, under kde4 the only way I could start programs with root
privileges was from a terminal with root privileges obtained by cli su and then
dbus-launch program as described in C#1. I had logged out / in and init3 /
init5 to restart x numerous times. The last time this problem appeared around 9
June and it disappeared after editing kdesurc and returning it to it's original
state with logout/logins in between the editing
(see http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=511480 ) This time it has
disappeared with a reboot. The only clue is that my ~/.kde/share/config/kdesurc
wasn't replaced at last upgrade but ~/.kde4/share/config/kdesurc was.
