I experienced some similar strangeness with the K Menu when I upgraded to KDE 3.4.1 but that was with the monolithic ebuilds. Now I'm using kde split ebuilds (kde-meta) and everything seems to work pretty well. K Menu -> System -> More Applications -> File Manager - Super User Mode I tried that menu option and it seems to work fine. I can open text files with kedit. I have kdelibs-3.4.1-r1, kdesu-3.4.1, and konqueror-3.4.1. Zac -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
