KDE Version: 3.0.98 - KDEsu Version: 1.0 - Konqueror version: 3.0.98
Installed from: Slackware 9.0-beta - Compiler: gcc 3.2
OS: GNU/Linux

The same bug appears even if another user (not logged, but su-ed and authorized
by xhost), from the cli, runs "konqueror" as file manager (but it doesn't happen
as internet browser, with an URL)

If this is a linux-only problem, I can but guess. If it's generic, it's 
part of the basic bitrot of kdesu. I hope to have some time to work on
this after we get the kde/freebsd release done.

Bug was resolved by running through the desktop settings wizard on both the root 
and the users desktop, and by also setting all desktops to default settings in 
control centre. Im not sure changing which setting has resolved the problem. 

Created attachment 566 [details]
fix - use userid to create mcop suffix instead of LOGNAME environment variable

The error is not caused by Konqueror but by mcop; kdesu doesn

similar bug reported as Bug 45266 

can confirm this (and the fix from #4 works fine) on gentoo linux, gcc-3.2.1, 
kde-3.1_rc5

Is it at all possible to get a more detailed explanation of how to resolve this problem for some one relatively new?  I'm using RH9 and having the same problem.

I'm using RH9 as well, with all of the updates installed.  Here's what I get when I try to run the patch:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

I get the same thing when I run it from the Arts directory.  Is it because of the difference in case?  My Arts folder doesn't have an mcop folder in it either.  I'm probably just doing something wrong.  Any ideas?

Thanks
