As your normal user:
"kdesu /usr/bin/kate"
This starts kate as root, but preserves the environment needed.
Thanks for this. It does work this way. However, this really just prompts me to ask how is one supposed to administer the openSUSE nowadays? I've been using SuSE since 8.0 and I've always done it so that I log in with my own username (either locally with X or over ssh) and then use su (or sux as it used to be) to change into root. Then I just continue from that. Previously, everything worked well like that. Currently I'm having large problems. How do you do it? Or do you just use command line editing tools still? (That's why I'm trying to use kate... to get away from emacs :-) )
Depends on each person. I use "su -", and yes, the dash is crucial. Just try both on two terminals and compare the environment. Or read the man page ;-) At least in gnome it works. I don't know if for kde you need something extra that requires kdesu. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
