let's see: I didn't try to reproduce your problem when you reported,
and now that I have kdelibs 3.3.0-2, I am unable to reproduce. if I su
to root as a normal user, and then execute:
# iceauth
Using authority file /root/.ICEauthority
you can see that is not using my $USER ICE auth file. I suppose (if
you're still able to reproduce your problem) that for you it would
read "/home/$USER/.ICEauthority" there. can you check?
also, can you upgrade and see if it still happens?
thanks,

It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
