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. Jonathan Wilson wrote:

I am running SuSE 7.1. Today I had a user session on an NCD X-Term. I brought up a root session on the console. I tried to open Konsole a few times and it seemed to fail. When I went back to my NCD terminal, the Konsoles were opened on that terminal. I did have one su Konsole on the NCD before doing this.
Any thoughts?
It's got something to do with your $DISPLAY value. Exactly how did you "try to open Konsole"? Also I have no idea what NCD is so I cna't exactly answer that bu either way, your konsole was getting launched to the display value that was set on your NCD
