I have experienced this same problem since KDE-3.5 - not being able to
view the camera in konqueror as a regular user but can view and edit the
camera pictures when logged in a root and it has still become an issue
with KDE-4.10.5 so it has still not been resolved as of KDE4.10 and
Slackware14.1. I have solved it this way.
My original configuration was KDE-4.10.5, libgphoto 2.5.2. I installed
the camera thru System Settings - Digital Camera as a "Nikon D50 PTP"
I then downloaded the latest libgphoto2-2.5.7 and edited
"camlibs/ptp2/library.c" and changed the appropriate line for my camera - line
1054 as "Nikon:D50 ( PTP mode )" is changed to "Nikon:D50 PTP" so that this
matches the KDE setting as close as possible and to reduce verbiage I changed
line 2048 from "USB PTP Class Camera" to "USB PTP Camera".
Back to the top of the source tree
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
so that the output code will overlay the original installed library.
make, become superuser, make install
I can now view the camera thru konqueror or dolphin as a regular user. This is
still probably a permissions problem and KDE and the distributors are not
setting permissions correctly
