Now I've tried it and the "File Manager - Super User Mode" behaves seemingly in the same non-functional way, that is, shows up in the bottom launch panel like it's starting up, hangs there for about 15 secs, then shuts down/disappears.

By the wrench I mean an icon that resembles the wrench, you can see it on the left side of the Alt+F2 window. As I remember, a while ago it was possible to run an app through Alt+F2 and specify "Run As a different user" settings. Once you selected an app to run you'd click on the similar looking "wrench" icon next to the selected app and it would open a new window where you'd specify "Run As a different user" settings. Now I can no longer find a way to do that. Perhaps they removed that plugin or whatever from Alt+F2. > It seems generally that your paths must be wrong since it is installed. > What is your $PATH and can a KDE user compare to their own? $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
