I'm not sure, but to me it looks like some file in your home directory 
is owned by root. If this is correct, you can correct the issue with the 
command

sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME

in a terminal (konsole). That should make you owner again of all files 
in your home directory and any subdirectories.

Such a problem might be caused by commands like the one you mentioned 
above (su dolphin). For GUI programs you should use the command kdesudo 
instead of sudo or su, i.e. in your example it would be "kdesudo 
dolphin". Otherwise the ownership of some files in your home directory 
may change from your own login to root.
