Here is my quick workaround for this problem, using some bash scripting
to create a new command and putting it in your .bashrc file.
Add the following to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file:
kde4sudo () {
otherargs=""
first=true
for i in $*
do
if [ $first = true ]
then
first=false
else
otherargs="$otherargs $i"
fi
done
kdesudo `which "$1"` $otherargs
}
Then run kde4 applications as root by typing, for example, "kde4sudo dolphin"
or "kde4sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf".
This gets rid of the annoyance of having to type the full path each time you
wish to run a kde4 application as root.
Note: this will only start functioning in new shells so close open
shells or restart to get it fully working.
