I have the regular super user konsole. but the konsole that is supposed to be the regular konsole prompts for a password each time i open it. i have tried the profile thing, no avail. any ideas as to why this is? thanks.
Seems to me the problem is you have both root and user konsoles together. I find, whenever I su in a konsole, it remembers that and tries to run it as root next time. It causes grief for a few logins until it goes away - and even if I give it the root password it appears to do absolutely nothing with it ...
Short answer: it looks like root konsoles are buggy. or you have *some* configuration borked. I do not observe the problems you describe. I rarely have reason to hunt for another console window rather than utilizing the regular konsole and simply "su -". but I have never opened <user> konsole and be asked to provide a password, in any of my many years years on suse versions of linux.
Same here -- ne'er a problem with konsole-user and konsole-root. (Just a point to ponder: I always do a clean install and have never upgraded from one version of oS to the next version (using, say, zypper dup). I do this in case baggage remains to affect the newer version.)
