Description Larry Johnson 2002-11-13 19:42:51 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

This bug severely limits the usefulness of running a KDE destop on a remote host.

1. Remote Linux host running new, clean, standard install of Intel SuSE 8.0., private LAN, host running at init level three with xfs started.
2. Local Win2kSP3, SSH Secure Shell 3.2.0, X-window server X-Deep/32 4.0., X-11 tunnel.
3. Set up SSH session, start local X-widow server, Launch KDE to run, no problems.
4. Any application requiring root access to launch (Konquerer - Super-user, YAST2, ...) runs and fails without and notification or error message, only the mouse pointer and taskbar icon sometimes appear for a few seconds. 
5.  I captured this as it was attempting to launch (ps -ef | grep ked | grep -v grep )  - 1183 was the new process:

Comment 1 Waldo Bastian 2002-11-18 21:13:39 UTC
kdesu fails to properly forward the Xauthority information. The reason is that
ssh sets an Xauth entry for "<hostname>/unix:10" but sets $DISPLAY to
"localhost:10", kdesu then issues a "xauth localhost:10" which fails to find
"<hostname>/unix:10", using "xauth :10" would give the correct result.
