KDE 3.4 Contol Center Administrator mode problem
I have recently started having problems with kde 3.4 control center when i try to enter administrator mode. It seems like it accepts my password but instead of unblanking the funtions under that specific section, it returns me to the main screen upon opening the control center.
Anyone have a solution, its the latest 3.4 by the way
Also how do i get that anoying Kcd to stop trying to play the cd everytime i insert it or stop and start a cd from another application

hmm
i have the exact same issue and i thought i was imagining things. it seems like this is a bug. the workaround is to start kcontrol as root from the command line: sudo kcontrol
don't know about kcd though, i dont have it on my system. perhaps yum remove it?

Same here. Has anyone filed a bug report or has this bug already been reported?

Temporary solution:
Open a terminal, type: 'su -' and then kcontrol
It's a bug in kde 3.4.x (at least in the fedora version).
It still does weird things in my home-compiled kde 3.5 beta.

No, they released kde 3.4.3 today, not 3.5. The kde 3.5 comes around november I believe. (and it's going to be nice )

It seems that this problem only occurs if you use the KDM display manager, I just switched from gdm (when using GDM, the adminstrator mode worked correctly...) strange
