Hi,

Has anyone been able to run an app, any app, as root in KDE? If yes, how do you 
do it? I tried the following approach with several appsĀ  but it did not work 
for me:

1. Select an application launcher (tried it with Kwrite, Konqueror) > RMB click 
> Edit launcher (or Edit Application) > Application > Advanced Options > User > 
[X] check Run as a different user > User name > root

2. Launch the app, it launches, asks for the (root) password, enter the 
password, click OK, the app just sits there for several minutes. Trying to 
close the Enter password window results in "Application kdesu is not 
responding" and offers to terminate application kdesu. I can terminate it but 
that's about it.

Thanks
