Occasionally while messing around with my system I'll run kfilemanager su (kdesu konqueror). Usually things are great but sometimes when I select a file (say /etc/fstab) to edit an error requestor will pop up stating "kdeinit could not launch kwrite" Is there some way to get around this, whats really happening. The system isn't under great load, I'm the only user, cpu use is low. It's really frustrating. Sometimes (given enough time) the problem will fix itself. Other times I don't feel like waiting so I end up restarting X. I did try starting another session as root and everything worked as I wanted there. But I'd rather not be doing a full login as root just to edit a couple of files. Ideas?, Where to look? Thanks alot -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
