kdesu dolphin and konsole

I've just started having issues with kdesu and dolphin or konsole or even systemsettings5. I can get kate and partitionmanager to open, but nothing else. When I try to start via kdesu, the 'open as root' gui opens for my (root) password, then nothing.

terminal command:

[pat@Pats_Main ~]$ kdesu dolphin
[pat@Pats_Main ~]$

journalctl -xe

Aug 30 20:47:53 Pats_Main su[8261]: (to root) pat on pts/3
Aug 30 20:47:53 Pats_Main su[8261]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user root by (uid=1000)
Aug 30 20:47:53 Pats_Main su[8261]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user root
Aug 30 20:47:53 Pats_Main su[8264]: (to root) pat on pts/3
Aug 30 20:47:53 Pats_Main su[8264]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user root by (uid=1000)
Aug 30 20:47:54 Pats_Main su[8264]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user root

and this just showed up when I tried kdesu dolphin thru alt-f2:

Aug 30 20:50:55 Pats_Main su[15665]: (to root) pat on pts/3

Aug 30 20:50:55 Pats_Main konsole[15676]: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.
Aug 30 20:50:55 Pats_Main su[15669]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user root

Just for giggles

[pat@Pats_Main ~]$ echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
[pat@Pats_Main ~]$ echo $DISPLAY
:0

I got this to work

[root@Pats_Main pat]# export $(dbus-launch)
[root@Pats_Main pat]# dolphin

An older KDE bug report: Bug 199209 - root cannot run kde4 applications from the command line without using dbus-launch - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199209

-> A workaround is to use the

kdesu dbus-launch dolphin

Thanks, I guess I was taking the long road around.
