Re: "su" Capability Needed In Konqueror
Once upon a time, I heard Robert Tilley say

The question is why do you need to use konqueror? besides its ease of use.
ANW, I don't know whether konquerer allows you to do such a thing or not.
But you can, from a shell, su to root and call konqueror from there. If
you have a problem starting konqueror as root, there are several
solutions, read debian-user for more info. In short, you may use xhost,
XAUTHORITY, and sudo for the task.
