yes exactly. most of the problems are in the new ways after KDE 4.2.2
for example, when starting with sudo, a problem happens with kdeinit.
the current one is running as $USER and a new one running as root has to
be started, but since using sudo, many of the $USER environment is still
the same, and the communication between the root application and kdeinit
is incorrectly done resulting in the dreaded xmessage stating the error
and which resets X.
so please, use kdesudo.
