This fix has worked well for me too, since it was posted. Uel, your
problem with kate, kedit and company is another little "bug". The
environment path is different for root and users. Add /opt/kde/bin to
the root path. Your other problem with "su -" is funny, as it's
probably because this variation of su works like this:

"The optional argument - may be used to provide an environment
similiar to what the user would expect had the user logged in
directly"

so maybe as the fix is not in the root user's environment.......
