Hello

Step to reproduce:
use this password: +èùàò-

fresh installed 20110107 i386, i cannot launch Dolphin with root previlege.
When I try the output of the terminal is:njin@nattydwi680:~$ sudo dolphin

[sudo] password for njin:
unnamed app(2125): KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified
Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
"

unnamed app(2124): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.

If i try to launch kate:njin@nattydwi680:~$ sudo kate
[sudo] password for njin:
No protocol specified
kate: cannot connect to X server :0.0njin@nattydwi680:~$

If I launch kate without sudo:

Hello Rohan
Launching apps with kdesudo the autentication request popup, insert the password, but it don't reconnect it (said that is wrong).
The Konsole out is:
njin@nattydwi680:~$ kdesudo dolphin
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/njin/.config/ibus/bus
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address.
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
njin@nattydwi680:~$

Are some days that i can observe these issues

Did you put in the correct password? Doesn't look like it

Hello Rohan
I've verified this with much accuracy, it don't detect the password inserted.
And I remeber that I've repeated the command two times, so it is impossible to get wrong my short passwd 6 times (caps lock not enabled and keyboard correctly mapped as it appear in kate).
Isn't possible that this can be the root of the bug ?
Regards
Fabio

Maybe related to same bug. Since ~ 2011-01-16, almost all KDE applications freeze X interface, without being root :
kdm does not launch kde till the end, but successful for fluxbox
dolphin, ktorrent, virtualbox freeze X
okular seems not to freeze anything.

Behaviour, after starting a K application, it seems that first the bluetooth mouse is lost, no more action interaction with windows, except right click on root window, then no more action at all (touchpad, keyboard...)

No possibility to extract log information. Only some feedback from an xterm when launching a K application:
unnamed app as previously defined and org.freedesktop.desktop.Dbus.Error.NoReply does not answer or does not exist...
maybe related to kdebase or ibus/dbus

Sorry for not being able to give more details.
system is ubuntu 11.04, kernel 2.6.37-12-generic x86_64
kdebase 5:55ubuntu1
kdebase-* 4:4.5.95-0ubuntu1

If you need more feedback, do not hesitate to give me indications
