Hello, everyone. I've discovered that I suddenly can't launch certain applications as root from the command line anymore.

For instance, I've been using Konqueror for more than a year to handle basic file management tasks as root (I'm still very clumsy at the command line; I get all muddled moving from one directory to another, despite liberal use of pwd). Now, when I switch to root and run 'konqueror', I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] gdesklets]# konqueror
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed


...and nothing further happens. I can't imagine what I might have done to mess things up, and reboots haven't helped. It's happening with Nautilus, as well-- I'm fast running out of GUI file managers that I can use as root. I know I need to become more proficient at the command line (or look into using something like Midnight Commander), but I wasn't planning on being forced into it when I have work to do. ;)

Any ideas? Where ought I to look to see what might have happened?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated; thanks very much in advance.
