A similar behavior is observed when e.g. dolphin is started from a shell: mader@santenay:~> su - doe Password: doe@santenay:~> dolphin dolphin(30044): Attempt to use QAction "close_tab" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(30044): Attempt to use QAction "show_info_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(30044): Attempt to use QAction "show_folders_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(30044): Attempt to use QAction "show_terminal_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! dolphin(30044): Attempt to use QAction "show_places_panel" with KXMLGUIFactory! doe@santenay:~> kdeinit4: preparing to launch No protocol specified : cannot connect to X server :0.0 No protocol specified No protocol specified kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/okular No protocol specified okular: cannot connect to X server :0.0 So as it seems there is something wrong with the permissions to use the running Xsession...
