"kdesu kwrite" shows a password window, after password entry it does nothing no program start and no message. I can reproduce this bug on 2 systems, one real computer (Asus A7N8X-Deluxe Board, Athlon XP 1700, 512MB RAM) and one in VirtualBox V3.0.6-OSE both 32-Bit KDE. I have this tried with "konsole" and "XTerm" under KDE, IceWM and TWM, all with the same result. "sudo kwrite" shows this message "kwrite: cannot connect to X server" after password entry, in all configurations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Starting applications as user always works. Starting applications using kdesu works. Starting applications from console using su makes crashhandler appear. Klicking on restart application starts desired app properly.

Some weeks ago, i've read (but don't remember if it was in bugzilla or mailing list) that kde will re-enable the auto run of dbus which is less secure, but remove all that kind of trouble (also for remote ssh -X session) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
