The problem is in the environment active when you start k3b. Check your
environment variables after a sudo (i.e. sudo env), and after a kdesu env.
Kdesu sets up your environment to look more like your present environment,
and that's why it works. Somewhere, in the difference between the two, is
your problem. I'd check your path first.
