Description Michael Stather 2009-01-21 23:20:46 UTC

Version:           1.1.80 (using 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-gentoo-r1

If I try to launch konqueror from a terminal with root privilegies, nothing happens. Neither in the konsole, nor do I see a window. This also applies to konqueror.
I can launch dolphin with krunner "kdesu dolphin", and it opens a window, but the file/directory listings displayed are always empty, no matter which destination I choose.
