How to config root kde same as user?
Eclipse looks completely different when run under root compared to my user.

It's like kde wasn't setup for root upon installation.

I'm running Suse 9.3 Pro.

How do I configure root kde so that eclipse looks the same when run as user?

You should not be running large graphical applications as root. Many will actually refuse to do so.

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.
