Nope, it's not just you. I get a weird bluish square in the upper left of the screen, and my system locks. I have to power off -- ctrl/alt/delete won't even work. |

Yes, it looks like a battery icon in the upper left corner when it freezes while attempting to log out of root. But, I've been using it for a few days now as user, and am not noticing problems. |

Is there a good reason for running KDE as root? I would have thought the most basic security regime avoids running any unnecessary applications with root privileges... -- Stephen Chadfield http://www.chadfield.com/ |

I don't know. I've never logged in to KDE as root. Cheers! Rich |

So...what you're saying is "it really isn't a bug if you don't do it?". That's sort of like the old joke "doctor, it hurts when I do this. Well, don't do that!". When you're reloading a system and restoring files, it makes sense to be running KDE as root. |

Then, do you mean you actually need KDE to restore files ? I am awfully sorry but either I don't understand or I can't understand ... |
