Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert "kdesudo dolphin" in a terminal
2.dolphin start with an ugly GUI
3.dolphin freezes after a few interactions

Actual Results:  
dolphin freezes after a few interactions

Expected Results:  
dolphin should work like the non-superuser version (insert "dolphin" in terminal)
