Using `kfmclient openProfile filemanagement` doesn't work for me (I can't browse /root), and `sudo konqueror` doesn't work (can't connect to X server.) However, what did work was `kdesu konqueror`, which asked me for the root password. When I entered it, I can browse /root and create/edit files. All were done in a terminal as a non-root user. Dan
