Ran ksmserver as root accidentally



This is perhaps excessively paranoid, but I accidentally ran ksmserver as root. I don't suppose this means I've opened myself up to potential vulnerabilities? It seems fairly innocuous but wanted to be sure. I'm on KDE so ksmserver was already running and I get this output:

root@computer:/home/user# ksmserver

Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
kwin: unable to claim manager selection, another wm running? (try using --replace)

Which to me indicates it can't start a new instance as it's already running. Anyway, is there anything to worry about?
