Eclipse looks completely different when run under root compared to my user.
It's like kde wasn't setup for root upon installation.
I'm running Suse 9.3 Pro.
How do I configure root kde so that eclipse looks the same when run as user?
Firstly it is a bad practice to run a user application like Eclupse as root.
If you want to take the risk, you can always boot to single user mod, log in as root through the console and startx
from there. Once you setup the KDE theme, you can switch runlevel to normal.
