I run my programs through the "K menu" thingy. You know, at the bottom |
| 65 |
left of the screen. I may be doing mine different but it seems KDE |
| 66 |
doesn't want much of anything being run as root, not the way you are |
| 67 |
trying to do it, not the way I have been doing it. |

Still puzzled that Dolphin will work but Konqueror does not. |
