Knode will only start if I su to root

[Rachel Andrew <lists@rachelandrew.co.uk>]

Hi

I'm running KDE on an up-to-date Woody system and while all other KDE 
applications are running fine, KNode will only start if I su to root and 
launch it from a terminal window.

I'm guessing it must be some kind of permissions problem but am not too sure 
where to look.

Thanks =)
