I still use Konqueror as root too. I have a menu item set up this way.
For command: "kfmclient openProfile filemanagement" and then I set it
to run as user root under advanced. It works even after the upgrade and
has worked for quite a while now.
When I select the item, it asks for the root password and then opens
Konqueror with root access. This may be a different way but maybe you
can use that as a guide.
IIUC, this is a KDE extension to the standard, or was a KDEism that
was never included in the standard. Either way, it is not in the
standard, so I stopped using it. I find that I can not find any
documentation for it and no longer remember the exact syntax.
Could you please post a quote from your desktop file?
I just changed mine in the K menu then put a copy on the little kicker
thingy. I been using that since the old KDE3 days and it works fine
here. I actually found it on the KDE website somewhere. I just copied
the settings and command from there.
BTW, when you make changes to you KDE menu, 'desktop' files for that
user are created in:
$HOME/.local/share/applications/
So, the changes to the 'desktop' file are KDE extensions:
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-Username=root
So, now I need help. I have this 'desktop' file:
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=
Exec=kfmclient openProfile filemanagement
GenericName=File Manager
Icon=konqueror
Name=Konqueror root
NoDisplay=false
Path[$e]=/
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=0
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DocPath=konqueror/index.html
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-Username=root
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<
created by the menu editor. The KDESU window open, I enter the root
password, click the button, the window disappears, and nothing further
happens. No Konqueror and no error box.
Thanks for your assistance so far.
