I just tried "kdesu konqueror" here and it worked fine. I start several apps
with kdesu from autostart (kate, konqueror) and they also work. Perhaps the
devs don't do anything because they can't reproduce the error. However, kdesu
*is* very delicate and I sometimes have to clean out the kde stuff in /tmp and
/var/tmp before logging on to get apps to start.
