KDE apps and running as root

[Rory Gleeson <rory@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an interesting problem.  Couldn't find it in Bugzilla 
characterized in this way.

When I run Kmail it always crashes after a couple of seconds being 
opened with a Signal 11.  In Kmail, Konqueror and Kopete, the icons in 
the toolbar don't show.

HOWEVER, if I run all three apps from terminal in *root*, everything 
works perfectly.  Kmail opens up and won't crash.  All the icons in the 
toolsbar show.  So, on install, something probably happened with the 
permissions, I'm thinking.  However, I've done straight installs, so I'm 
wondering if FC2 is settings something incorrectly with KDE apps.

Thoughts or ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks,
Rory
