[kde-linux] Konqueror and changing permissions

Hi list,

I have KDE 3.5.1 installed on Gentoo and noticed something strange.
When I am in Konqueror as root and right click on something and click
properties, then try to change the permissions, like user name, group or
the read/write part, when it goes to change it I get a error message.
It just pops up a box with the file name and that is it. The title bar
just says error - konqueror and it has a circle with a X in it.
Sometimes when I check, the permissions are changed to what I want them
to be and sometimes not. It varies.

Anybody else get this? Is there a fix or work around?

Thanks

Dale
