Dear Alan and friends:

But which application?

Can one create an icon of one's home directory and type "kfmsu" in the
Properties, Execute section and have it launch the File Manager (after
typing the root password) as ROOT. And does it work properly? Any
problems?

I think this is a critical matter. This has to work properly or the
graphical File Manager is of no use.

Thank you so very much.

Benjamin
