Sometimes I log in into KDE as root. When I, being logged in as root, use Konqueror to surf on the internet, I notice a lot of timeout errors (trying do to a query search in Mandrakesoft Bugzilla always timed out). In KCC:Network:Preferences I saw that timeout settings of 2 seconds (instead of the default 15,10,20,600 seconds) were saved into /root/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc That kioslaverc file for root came out of directory /usr/share/mdk/kde/root-interface/ . I guess that root-interface directory is full of KDE settings specifically for root. Why are those timeout settings set to 2 seconds for root in KDE, for security reasons or to hinder people at staying too long logged in as root in KDE? Are there any other of those annoying settings that prevent easy use of logging in as root into KDE? And to refresh my memory, why is it a bad idea to login as root in KDE? These days I do a lot of root changes,it's easier for me to stay for a while in KDE as root than to type my root password everytime I want to do some root job as a regular user.
