Hi Vincent, hi Frank, hello all,

I think this should at least be reflected in the documentation.
But there is used the su program without even mentioning the login shell
( --log/ -l/ -) option:

Reference > Chapter 21. Shell Basics > 21.4. Becoming Root > 21.4.1.
Using su
http://doc.opensuse.org/products/opensuse/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.new.bash.html#sec.new.bash.root

I rate the hole reworking and expand the printed/book like manuals was a
great operation (that should be mentioned in the 'highlights' article of
11.4). But maybe it some background (like: su versus su- ; what are
gnomesu, kdesu, gksu, gksudo, xdg-su -c "[command]", ....like?) and
explanations could be done in the wiki (at least as an unstable/stage
version before including it/parts of it to the manuals)?
