Version: 4.5 (using KDE 4.5.5)
OS: Linux

I can connect to my PTP camera (Canon PowerShot A720 IS) via camera:/ protocol in Dolphin or Krusader only as root. The problem seems to be as some privileges, but: as common user I see the camera (via lsussb), Digikam operates OK, gphoto2 too...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Login to KDE as common user, connect camera to PC, start Dolphin or Krusader, type camera:/ into address line, press enter (or any similar process, eg. via bookmarks)

Actual Results:
Blank (empty) window in Dolphin or Krusader.

Expected Results:
Window with proper file and folder structure from camera.

The process described above works correctly in root mode of Dolphin or Krusader, or in root system session (login to KDE as root). I observe continuos problem with camera:/ protocol in KDE 4.x.y - this protocol worked without problem in KDE 3.5.x. There was no function in KDE 4.5.4 and earlier (either as common user, or as root)....
