This is strange problem, in KDE4.2
When I launch “Dolphin - Superuser mode” from the menu, I can’t open text files. I get the error KDEInit could not launch ‘/usr/bin/kwrite’.
But when I got to Konsole and login as root, then call Dolphin there, the application behaves correctly and I can open text files as expected.
But the menu option doesn’t work if I then set it up to call Dolphin as user root. I get the error message Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher
Going back to the Konsole, I notice the following (The second CLI “kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib64” was called automatically)
inspiron:~ # dolphin

One more thing. With this still running, calling Dolphin from the menu as user root does work. So my question is, how can I get Dolphin to work from the menu, on it’s own?
