Input device error (again)

[addr]

Is the first part of this error message the Wacom stuff? From a search this seems to be fairly common.
I was hoping someone could translate the xlib and kdeinit references and advise me what to do about it.
Thanks

I'd say so

Did you try to make use of kdesu on / from a console (aka terminal)?

No, but I do have a 'Superuser' desktop launcher set up with the Command kdesu and I may have used that in the same session.

Re: Input device error (again)

O.k., let's try to sort this out:

On a K/console, issue the following commands one by one and "compare & contrast" the results:

# launching Kate as regular user
kate
# Ditto as "super user" - bad
sudo kate
# Ditto as "super user" - good
kdesu kate

If I were guessing right, the error messages will change according to the command in question ...
