After "Super User Mode" - "Klauncher could not be reached via dcop"

Tim, All;

   I have noticed this with Trinity throughout 3.5.13 development, but it never 
bubbled up in priority over CMake and build issues. The problem:

If you use one of the "Super User Mode" apps like konqueror file manager. The 
desktop can no longer launch applications as a normal user until Trinity is 
restarted. You get a Klauncher error message that "Klauncher could not be 
reached via dcop".

   It looks like after a super user app is run - the dcop is stuck in super user 
mode or something similar. I don't know how to go about chasing this down, but 
wanted to bring it to the lists attention. I also want to know if someone else 
can confirm this behavior.

   Just open System->Super User->File Manager-Super User Mode

   It will work fine. Then close it. No go try and open any other app as a 
normal user (i.e. kwrite). It won' work. You will get the error:

"Klauncher could not be reached via dcop"

   So what every gets changed when dcop runs a Super User mode app -- doesn't 
get undone when the app exits.
