Too many times I have needed to perform file manipulation using Konqueror and found I needed to have root's access permissions. So I out of KDE -- log back in as root -- do what I need -- and log back in as a normal user (myself). This is needlessly complicated I feel. Does Konqueror/KDE provide a method to su to root within a GUI environment? Thank you for any information, Robert Tilley tilleyrw@cfl.rr.com
