Dear Colin and friends:
Best thing to do if you have any problems with XFTree, xfce's limited
file manager, is to add a menu entry to the toolbar/panel for Konqueror.
In the command line type:
kdesu /usr/bin/konqueror
If you just type /usr/bin/konqueror, you will only be able to use
Konqueror as a user. By adding kdesu as above, it will bring up a
dialogue box. If you want to do any editing only in your home directory
(as user), you can just click on "Ignore". If you want to use it as
root, type in your password. Of course, just to see any file anywhere,
you can still click Ignore and use it as user. By the way, you can this
with any application and in any desktop, I imagine. kdesu is, after all,
a KDE utility.
You can do the same with the terminal. You can right-click on the big
Xterm icon on the toolbar, and replace the command line with "konsole"
and the label, too. This will bring up the much more useful "konsole".
Once again, you can also type in the command line kdesu /usr/bin/konsole
to have the option of using it as user or root. Or you can add Konsole
as a menu entry to the XFCE toolbar/panel.
