At present, Mandrake Control Center is for root. Some drakxtools can be
run as non-root, but more of them should be in the menus (but how to
seperate them yet make them easily accessible?).

I think there is a bug for that one somewhere ...

Yes, menudrake isn't the tool to use to change options on the KDE
desktop, only to edit the menu entries themselves ...

Probably an "interface team" request. IIRC it changed about the same
time the "Super User mode" menu entries disappeared, probably for the
same reason.

/me considers making a "kde-superuser-menus" package to put them back
... since I actually filed bugs to get some of them to work better than
on 9.1 ...

It is there, KDE Control Center->LookNFeel->Panels->Menus (tab)
