Some progams don't show up in kicker

I have a annoying problem with kinternet and kscd (maybe more apps, didn't test yet): When I do start kinternet, the kinternet-icon (plug with green ball) doesn't show up in kicker. I did move all the icons a litte (and even more!), but the kinternet-icon is not there. Starting kinternet again gives the message: 'kinternet is already running!'. Well, yes, that's true... The same behaviour occurs with kscd. Strange enough, this only happens to 'root', not to other users. My system is SuSE 8.2 / KDE 3.1.2 now, but the problem occured since 8.1/KDE 3.1. Any clues?
