As your normal user run in konsole, "echo $PATH". Then su to root and run the same command. I would guess that the kde bin directories are not in root's PATH, while they are in your user's. Also, you could find the full path to the executable and run it like that. (that is, using the full path specification)

| Code: | oskars@localhost ~ $ echo $PATH
/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin
oskars@localhost ~ $ su
Password:
localhost oskars # echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Ok, but is there a way to change these paths? Using full path should work, but that's not a really good solution though... :/
EDIT: I missed the previous post.
