    not sure if this has anything to do with your problem, but have a look at your .ICEauthority file in your home folder (ls .ICEauthority -alF). Make sure that it is owned by your normal user and not root.

    Use Suse 10.1 and occasionally play with Kubuntu
    Also have Windows 98SE and BeOS

    Looks like you're trying to run it from a terminal as root, while the X session is owned by a regular user. You can either set the DISPLAY environment variable (or something like that, other people know more about it than I do) or use sux instead of su to switch users in a terminal.

    You could also try (as a regular user):
    Code:
    kdesu kate
    This will run kate with root priviledges.
