"sudo dolphin" opens a neat dolphin window, logged in as root.

gksu dolphin produces an empty dolphin window with the error message: "process cannot be started. No connection to klauncher. The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files. You can see "places" and the terminal panel works normally. But the main area remains empty no matter what you do.
