25 Using `kfmclient openProfile filemanagement` doesn't work for me (I
26 can't browse /root), and `sudo konqueror` doesn't work (can't connect to
27 X server.)
28
29 However, what did work was `kdesu konqueror`, which asked me for the
30 root password. When I entered it, I can browse /root and create/edit files.

32 All were done in a terminal as a non-root user.
