Program only runs as root

My file manager (Krusader) stopped working recently. If I click on the icon, it tries to start in the taskbar and the CPU activity goes up to 50% and stays there until I kill -9 it in console.

 

Running Krusader from console gives this error:

 

WARNING: Mt.Man: Born, looking around to get familiar.

 

and it won't start

 

Running it as root in console brings up the program, but with this error:

 

kbuildsycoca running...

WARNING: Mt.Man: Born, looking around to get familiar.

kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle ''

kio (KDirWatch): WARNING: KDirWatch::removeDir can't handle ''

 

Anybody know what this means?

In worst case, you'll have to kill the ~/.kde directory. Perhaps try only to delete krusader parts, so it can restart as new at next login.

Do this NOT under KDE, it will rewrite the faults when logging out...
