The problem is that when you run file manager (Dolphin) in super user mode any task launched from dolphin should also run as super user.
i'm not at all sure that what you say there is a true statement.. that is, why would i (or the Dolphin development team) want _every_ task launched with a root powered file manager to have root powers? Dolphin is a *file manager* and as a file manager with root powers it should be able to manage (move, copy, delete, etc) *files* as root, not launch root powered anything.. now, if it were (say) a "root application launch pad" then if i launched kwrite from it, i'd expect that to also have root powers.. but, today if i'm using any root powered file manager i expect it to only have file manager duties root powered.. so, if i'm moving files with root powers and (for some unknown reason) wanna attract root kits with a root powered Firefox i wouldn't find the firefox executable to click on, instead i'd open a terminal and type kdesu firefox.. anyway, my opinion is this 'problem' is not a problem, Dolphin is working as designed.. and, finally: do not log into KDE, GNOME, Xfce or any other *nix GUI system as root....ever...just don't do it...it is like begging for problems: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Login_as_root http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-runtime/userguide/root.html http://tinyurl.com/6ry6yd ymmv, DenverD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
