Hi,

I suspect you didn't read my message very well.
The graphical KFM application does come up. The message appears when it tries
to do 'something', which I don't know. It just hangs with in the URL-field
'file:/root'.
I tried to change that to 'file:/tmp' which is world-readable, to no avail.

Besides that, the menu-selection runs '/usr/local/kde/bin/kfmsu', which then
runs '/usr/local/kde/bin/kfmsu2'.
The 'xhost' stuff is already done in 'kfmsu2'

In the mean time I have seen that in kfmsu2 the command 'export' is used.
This 'export' however, is not found on my system. So I suspect that the shell
which runs (or: is run by kfmsu2) kfmsu2 is not aware of the variable
DISPLAY.
'export DISPLAY=mybox:0.0' reports 'export: Command not found.'

I think that this is my problem. But I can not find the solution for that...

Could I have a drug overdose?

Best regards, and don't let the bits byte!
