When I launch X programs via sudo, I get the following:

But (gk|kde)su(do)? works. This is somewhat confusing.
sudo doesn't keep the $DISPLAY environment variable by default. There
could be other issues too. Best stick to kdesu and friends; that's
what they are there for.
Well, I noticed after the recent upgrade to 4.5.1 that mine doesn't work
either. It worked before but not now. I'm not sure what changed
between 4.4 and 4.5.1 but it broke my konqueror as root and other
programs as well. Still have some I haven't tried tho. Konqueror is
the one I need most. Oh, I can get Dolphin to work tho. The conspiracy
theory part in me is starting to think.
Sure would like to get this working again too.
