my KDE3 menu in oS11.4 has.
No, I didn't; but when I do, it opens with the
message, " YaST Control Center
is not running as root. You will only see modules which do not require root
privileges."
Apparently, the setup for YaST2 has changed since 11.4?
12.2 host gx27b: YaST2 is /usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 in the KDE 4.9.5 menu.
12.2 host gx62b: YaST2 is /sbin/yast2 in the KDE 3.5.10.x menu, and works.
12.2 host big41: YaST2 is /sbin/yast2 in the TDE 3.5.13.1 menu, and works.
Maybe you're missing something non-obvious?
