[KDE] segfault for non KDE apps? (new)

Hi,

a few days ago, I noticed that non KDE apps (Firefox, Claws Mail, etc.) did not start on my KDE desktop (KDE 4.4, not KDE-mod).
What happens is that if I click on one of them on the menu, the app starts (I see the mouse cursor being active) but in the end nothing happens. By executing the corresponding command in a terminal followed by sudo, it would work. However, when entering the same command without sudo it gives me a "segmentation fault". KDE apps (dolphin, konqueror) works perfectly.
What would that mean and how can I fix it?

thanks,

Charles.
