[mythtv-users] Can't launch mythbrowser... kde/suid issue?

Hi! I'm running into a curious issue with mythbrowser. When I attempt to
launch a bookmark, I see the following error from stdout:

"The KDE libraries are not designed to run with suid privileges."

I am running startx as root from an init.d script:

[relevant line]
/bin/su -c /usr/bin/X11/startx mythtv &

Then I call mythfrontend from the mythtv user's .xinitrc:

/usr/bin/mythfrontend

KDE doesn't come into it as far as I can see. Are KDE libraries used for
mythbrowser?

Thanks!
