Well, right now I cannot even do simple things like change the clock on the system because of the apparent permissions error. I can get openSUSE updater to show me all available updates, but i cannot update either because of this issue.
I have the same problem with (almost?) everything that needs root privs in KDE, I get "su returned with an error" instead of the usual window for entering the root password. Same if I go to "execute" in the KDE menu and try launching anything via kdesu. I've been following Factory with frequent updates and this has been happening for some time now. I thought it might be a general failure that would be fixed soon, but it seems to persist atm. BTW, I just wondered if having both KDE3 and KDE4 installed might be the problem, but "which kdesu" from a console tells me it uses the KDE3 one, which should be correct (I'm running KDE3 here until KDE4 is mature enough to deal with me).
