Hi Pascal,

reassigning this bug report to X2Go Server, not X2Go Client.

In x2goruncommand (the server-side script that is responsible for any  
application startup) sets this env var:

"""
# disable rastering in >= KDE4.8 and Qt4.8
export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native
"""

That piece of info probably gets lost during the sudo call you perform.

Maybe you want to play with /etc/sudoers...

""" special line in sudo
%admins ALL=(ALL) SETENV: /usr/bin/dolphin
"""

And then: sudo dolphin

Does that work?
Mike
