Hi, all.
As an experiment, I just installed Debian 10.4 Stable on a spare
drive, and installed kde on it.
I have not tried kde in many years, so am not really familiar
with it. Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious, but I can
not seem to run Dolphin or Konqueror as root.
Searching online, I was astounded to see many references to this
problem, saying that this is not a bug, but a feature - that kde
developers are deliberately working to prevent users from using
some programs, including Dolphin as root, as a "security measure".
So, can the current version of Dolphin in Debian Stable be run
as root (without re-compiling, etc)?
And, if not, how (and why) would anyone use kde at all?
So . . . no one here using kde?
Hmmm . . .
I think it's less "nobody running KDE" so much as "who logs in to KDE as
root?"
