How about this: open a terminal, type:

#chmod 777 i18n

hup

chmod 777 is dangerous , it may harm your system

I think the best way in your condition is :
yourname $> su
password: *******
konqueror &
exit

and

yourname$> su -c konqueror
password: *******

hup

of couse, if you want edit some file, you can also use the terminater and type the command by root's power

the power of root user is enough to edit a configuration file!!!!!!!

I know that chmod 777 is dangerous. But if root cannot modify it, who can? So chmod 777 wont work anyway in this case!

I have never meet that problem!!!!!!!i think the changing on mode of file should be considered and after modifying , return the mode to the old one.
