Tests as root user? Do you mean you logged in X as root? or you opened a konsole as root?
I'm rather taken aback here.
I've always recommended users never log into X as root, and to use root in a konsole only very briefly, and sparingly.
The reason being in many cases configurations and permissions need to be setup as a regular user, and not as root. Setting them up as root can mess up things in some cases, ... and when one does mess up their permissions, it can be a nightmare to sort.
Anyway, I will now bow out of this thread. I do not want to get involved in sorting permissions that may have been messed up, or maybe not setup properly, because an inappropriate user account (ie root) was used. But no worries, as there are many qualified contributors to this thread who can likely sort anything that came amiss here.
