i assume you mean you setup a menuitem to run a paticular application as root like say to run konsole/konqueror as root. > I don't know if it uses su -, kdesu, sudo if its a menu item then it has to use kdesu, because sudo and su both take the password from teh std input (you wont get a gui prompt to enter the password), and nothing will happen. all you have to do is fire up the menu editor, go to your menu entry and make sure the command field looks like this "kdesu konsole", if it does look like that , try running kdesu from a konsole session and see what it prints out (it may not be installed for starters). -- - Yohan Pereira.
