Seems you're running sux as root, ain't you? That of course won't work. Sux is meant to be run as normal user.
If you want to have a permanent root shell, start 'xterm for superuser' from the KDE menu or do 'ssh -X root@localhost'. Both will give you a root shell with access to the display for X apps.

PS It's common courtesy to at least sign with your real name.
Thanks Philipp. But that was only one way I was trying. From user konsole it fails like this: hydra@hydra:/opt/kde3/bin$ sux -c ./konqueror -s bash root Password: mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding /tmp/mcop-hydra is not owned by user zone still contained 3 blocks hydra@hydra:/opt/kde3/bin$ But this is not the major problem. Main problem is in Konq superuser I cannot right-click files & AdvancedEditor, when logged in as a user. As a rule, I'm logged in as a user, and do admin functions in Konq superuser. There is a problem with that in Suse8 now. But I don't hear anyone else complaining about it. One thing I'll look in to is, alot of system files have invalid owner/group. (65535/65525, etc) Maybe there's a communication problem due to this.
