The problem is that when you run file manager (Dolphin) in super user
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..
Dolphin IS a PITA total it makes things so much more difficult it fails almost completely in almost every department. You need to get to files in "/root" it wont let you it wont launch safely if that is how it was designed then send the designer I'll gladly do him a nasty bring back Konqueror far far better by design , I think a lot of these so called devs now see themselfs as moving to a job with M$ Corp hence the complete failure to listen to the USERS and put the blinkers on just plough straight on not hearing any thing at all cus it dont suit them to hear .
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:
Sound advice BUT by no means at all the rule of law you try to insist it is and just to disprove your theory i had a system running as root for several years with a 24/7 internet connection never a single problem the only reason it is not running now is hardware failure the HDD bearings went sounded like a coffee grinder.
