I had this functionality working a while ago (I use it only occasionally), but 
then it stopped working. Maybe it was a security update that killed it or 
perhaps something else. Something has changed. I remember there was a way to 
access "Run as a different user" functionality from the Alt+F2 feature (when 
you click on the "wrench") but now it seems to have gone.

I enabled hidden items, saved the menu editor settings and even restarted KDE. 
Still the Kickoff Launcher doesn't show "File Manager - Super User Mode" item 
for me to run, so I can't run it. But the Launcher does show Konqueror-2 entry 
that I had a while back and then deleted. Where it still gets Konqueror-2 from 
I'm not sure.
