Operating Systems Linux SuSE How to config root kde same as user? Post 302565654 by Corona688 on Tuesday 18th of October 2011 12:19:24 PM

Root likely operates in that limited environment intentionally. They assume you'd be logging into root for emergency recovery purposes, so the usual bells&whistles aren't assumed to be available.
