Konsole: You need to be root to perform this command

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Since I installed F15 (keeping my F15 /home) I have been seeing a
several-second hang in Konsole, then this message.  I thought that
perhaps it was seeing my keychain configuration, and trying to get
keychain started, but I didn't install keychain at first.  Keychain is
now installed and I expected all to be well.  Unfortunately it isn't.

Now, when I start Konsole, my shell hangs without displaying a prompt.
 If I ^C I then see the message as above.  So far I haven't identified
any error messages obviously related to this.  I could use some help
in knowing what to look for and where.

The only thing I can see that I don't understand is

Sep 28 16:22:45 tosh rpc.idmapd[1143]: nss_getpwnam: name
'[e-mail]' does not map into domain 'localdomain'

I think this is unrelated, though I'd like to know what is causing that.

Maybe it has nothing to do with your problem, but I've had a hell of 
similar problems whenever a dhcp server assigns a hostname which is 
different from the hostname KDE came up with when I logged in. I'm 
colla@localhost at startup, then I get connected to a network whose DHCP 
server renames my host machine to user-5, I become colla@user-5 and no 
KDE application can be started anymore. Need to logout and login again, 
with my new name.
Hope that it helps,

Giuliano

try just before connecting to your dhcp server as your user colla:
xhost +SI:localhost:colla

this should prevent problems in the future.

Thank you for the tip. I'll try it when I meet again a dhcp server which 
wants to change my name!

I had (have?) a similar problem that turned out to be a kwallet issue.  Took me a while to figure out why many apps, including VNC objects that needed kwallet to provide the ssh tunnel pass phrase, wouldn't start.

I had to stop kwallet and restart it, then all was fine.  I also had to do that after a reboot.  I suppose it will do the same thing the next time I reboot.
