Hi,

in KDE3 the configuration tool (kcontrol, kdecontrol ?)
had for some pages the option to switch to root.

This came especially handy for the KDM configuration.

In KDE$ I did not yet find an equivalent.

I am aware that I can call "sudo -u root systemsettings"
in a terminal, or "kdesu systemsettings in krunner,
but from an usability POV I consider this worse than the
KDE3 solution.
(there was not even a menu entry with "systemsettings as root"
or something like that)

Did I miss something obvious or is there no option
to switch users in systemsettings ?

Regards
PEter

Hello, make a file.desktop with this content:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=kcmshell4 kdm
Type=Service
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-RootOnly=true

only is a idea (excuse me, my english is poor)
