Hello,

I just installed KDE4 via ports and am getting errors upon attempting
to start as a "regular" user. When I run startkde as root it works
fine but I don't want to use root on this machine.

I'm sure this is a very little issue but I appreciate your patience
and help in resolving this issue.

Best Regards,

Tom
