The one thing that really annoys me is the inability to start kwrite as root when in File Manager as Super User. For example, in Kde3 if you opened Konqueror as root and clicked on a file it would open in Kwrite and you could modify and save that file.
Now if you try it, it says cant start Kwrite.
I read some nonsense that it was a security thing, but it seems to me if I can come up with my root password for the file manager, I should be able to start Kwrite from there, instead of having to bring up a terminal as root to start kwrite. It's annoying enough to make a guy go back to kde3 or Gnome.
Here you have to note that the superuser dolphin is a suse-specific feature. Afaik this does not exist in upstream, vanilla KDE. But I'd agree that it's a very important bug. When I switched to SUSE Linux 9.2 from FC3 and Ubuntu 4.10 as a super n00b, being able to easily launch superuser-konq and edit system config files with kwrite was one of the killer features for me. I think the best workaround currently is installing krusader, and using the superuser krusader - since opening stuff in kwrite works there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
