Use "su -", not "su". I'm actively wondering if there's any reason to keep the "su" default behavior around. It just keeps harming us again and again. [...]

Hi Vincent, hi Frank, hello all, I think this should at least be reflected in the documentation. But there is used the su program without even mentioning the login shell ( --log/ -l/ -) option: Reference > Chapter 21. Shell Basics > 21.4. Becoming Root > 21.4.1. Using su http://doc.opensuse.org/products/opensuse/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.ne... I rate the hole reworking and expand the printed/book like manuals was a great operation (that should be mentioned in the 'highlights' article of 11.4). But maybe it some background (like: su versus su- ; what are gnomesu, kdesu, gksu, gksudo, xdg-su -c "[command]", ....like?) and explanations could be done in the wiki (at least as an unstable/stage version before including it/parts of it to the manuals)?
