Now that I've gotten Trinity working on my OpenSuSE 12.2 system, I find that starting YaST from the menu no longer works. The command string in the Application tab of the button configuration is "/usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2". When I cut/paste that into konsole and run it I get this message: xdg-su: no graphical method available for invoking '/sbin/yast2' as 'root' which means nothing at all to me. :-) Any suggestions?

Looks like this is an OpenSuSE issue, not a Trinity one: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2012-09/msg00277.html
I'm not sure that I completely understand their patch. When I echo XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP I get nothing back, so it looks like it won't work for Trinity (?).

And if I try to force it by $export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE $/usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 I get this: kdesu: symbol lookup error: kdesu: undefined symbol: _ZN15KPasswordDialog14setKeepWarningE7QString

Have you tried simply /sbin/yast2? That's all 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?

Maybe from the previous post and following you can find useful info and work it out.
