Can't use synaptic and other stuff as regular user

[Markus Lindström <mlindstr@ulb.ac.be>]

Hi there,

I have another problem. I've installed KDE, and I've installed Synaptic. 
The problem that occurs is that I can only launch Synaptic if I've 
logged in as root, it doesn't work even if I've used 'su' in a Konsole 
session on my own account. It seems X can only generate the windows if 
I'm logged in as root.

Any way to circumvent this?

Thanks in advance,
//Markus.
