Description Hevii Guy 2017-05-22 17:21:44 UTC 
I cannot run Krusader as Root whether I start from within Krusader (which appears to work flawlessly), from the Plasma menu (Fedora 25) or from the terminal with: su -l -c "export DISPLAY=:0 && dbus-launch krusader"

A window opens but is completely devoid of icons and menus. Right-clicking has no effect.

The following error is reported and repeated in the terminal window: 

X Error: BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter) 128
  Extension:    130 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode: 3 (X_ShmPutImage)
  Resource id:  0x6a0002f


I am running: 
KDE Plasma 5.9.5
KDE Frameworks %.33.0
QT Version: 5.7.1
Fedora 25 with Kernel Version: 4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64

Try 
su -l -c "QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 export DISPLAY=:0 && dbus-launch krusader"

And please post a screenshot.

Sorry Alex, we won't know why krusader 2.4.0-beta3 is sick; I obliterated all traces of it from my system! Instead of struggling, I compiled 2.6. 
After creating a couple of directories and a symlink to kdesu, I know have a healthy krusader :-)

Any idea why Fedora packages an ancient beta version?

Distributions just need their time. You can be glad youre not using an Ubuntu LTS version:)
There is a package for 2.5 in Fedora Rawhide.
