Thanks for that other option Ryo. Do those commands provide a permanent 
change, that hold up after a logout/login, or reboot?

I ran the xhost command as. xhost +local:root, but when I logged out, and back 
in, I had to run the command again. I resolved that by running the command 
in .kde's autostart. Was the "%" sign necessary at the start of the line?
