I opened the Konsoles from root user at the console by selecting the 
Konsole icon on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. 

NCD is a brand of X-Terminals that I have been using for some time now; 
I don't think they can be the problem. 

I hadn't thought of the $DISPLAY variable, but a new KDE2 session should 
have the correct $DISPLAY right? 

I've also had problems starting concurrent KDE2 sessions for the same 
user on different terminals.
