Thanks for the reply. No the problem doesn't occur when starting a program from the command line. This finally lead me to two fixes. If you dig down deep enough on the desktop icon properties (application -> Advanced Options -> User) you can set the user to root. When this is done a request for a password is presented on startup. Apparently this was set by backuppc. I just unchecked the box and the problem is gone. I also found a way to bypass the security lock on Dolphin so that I can now use it on root files. Yes I know that is not safe but my system is single user, in my home office and really doesn't include files that would be a disaster to loose. Because of the work I do I am constantly working with files that are owned by root and the inability to use Dolphin has been a great pain.Gary L. Roach (12022-07-16):Some time ago I installed backuppc and then decided to not use it. Even though I purged the program and made sure that I deleted all directories, I still get a backuppc password request when starting any of my programs. Anyone had this problem and if so, do you know how to get rid of it.Does it happen when you run your programs from the command line? If yes, then use strace to see how your command is redirected. If no, then you need to investigate whatever you use to run the programs.
Thanks again Gary R
