xterm is working fine, no messages.

"konsole" however gives me this:

libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy
konsole: cannot chown /dev/pts/1.
Reason: Operation not permitted
konsole_grantpty: determined a strange device name `/dev/ptmx'.
konsole: chownpty failed for device /dev/pts/1::/dev/pts/1.
       : This means the session can be eavesdroped.
       : Make sure konsole_grantpty is installed in
       : /usr/bin/ and setuid root.
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 15750, errno = 0

I have /usr/bin/konsole_grantpty with setuid root on both hosts.

It looks like programs from KDE bundle (like konqueror, kwrite) definitely
have this problem.

What else should I try? Could this be related to window decorations? (xterm
doe not have any, while konsole has)
