Not sure about your questions since I don't run KDE, but I'm curious:
are you logging in as root all the time, or just for administrative
tasks?

If you are running as root all the time...

You may know this already, so please forgive me if you do, but doing
everyday tasks as root is very dangerous.  Not only can you
accidentally run/do something you didn't mean to and screw up your
entire system, but you also open your system up to trojans (more
common) and viruses (less common) to a much greater degree than if you
run things as a normal user.

Access restrictions are one of the great things about *nix IMHO, but
"taking the name root in vain" totally circumvents them.

Ben
