    Random problems starting applications

    Hello,

    I found a huge amount of similar threads without a proper solution. I'm using KDE 3.5.2 on Kubuntu 6.06 and occasionally when I start some applications they remain kind of "hanging". There is the bouncing cursor and kicker notification of the program loading but it never appears. I noticed that this happens only to apps which require root privileges to run and entering password (adept, synaptic, konqueror in alt+f2 sudo mode). It's very anoying and I'll appreciate some help. Thank you in advance!

    Best regards,
    Dimitar

    same thing happens to me from time to time

    aboute konqueror, are you running it as "sudo konqueror"? you should never do that... i read that it can mess up your system... use "kdesu konqueror" instead...

      I'm sorry, I ment using Konqueror with root privileges Of course the command is kdesu but it is a graphical frontend to sudo...well, you got the point, my mistake.
