Hi,
I noticed a strange problem with kde 3.2.3 (cvs KDE_3_2_BRANCH). I
can't run many kde apps as root. Let's say I do kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement, the filemanager starts ok, but when I try to open a document I get the message "kdeinit:ca't start xyz". On further investigationI found that I can't start kde as root. I get the root window, artsd is starting, but no desktop and no kicker. It's possible though to start apps with sudo.
Note that KDE_3_2_BRANCH is currently NOT KDE-3.2.3 additional changes have been made and I found at least one (regression) bug in it. So, if you want KDE-3.2.3, I would use the tag for it.
I don't know what is causing your problem, but it appears to be a bug.
Try opening a Konsole:
su - <enter password> kdeinit
and see if this fixes the problem.
