While KDE may do some autodetection re: this, my "Root |
| 11 |
Shell" (uncustomized) from Konsole runs 'su -'; which will be a problem if |
| 12 |
you want to use sudo instead. (Or can't su for some reason.) |

If you do, you can edit the existing session or create a new session to run |
| 15 |
'sudo -s'. I use this nice feature to have a session that runs "su - -c |
| 16 |
'screen -x -R -s /bin/bash'" (and a similar one for non-root). |

I don't know show well (if at all) screen runs under sudo, but the |
| 19 |
equivalent should be something along the lines of 'sudo screen -x -R |
| 20 |
-s /bin/bash' |

Hrm, after writing this I realize I'm not in the "sudo" thread anymore. |

*shrug* Maybe this is useful information to someone. |
