Listmates, When I need to run apps a root for configuration purposes like kate, or konqueror "File Management", I either put the command in the Alt+F2 run dialog or create a menu entry and then check [ ] run as different users and put 'root' in the different user text box. Even though I have configured sudo I am inevitably prompte for a password. With suse we "patched" this by using kwriteconfig as your regular user: kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command sudo This wasn't the "recommended" way, but it was the way most chose to get around a mess with kdesu. When I try and access the apps I want to run as root, not only do I get the initial password prompt, but I get a second prompt after the app is closed. That has left me scratching my head. The other option is just to create the menu entries as "sudo command" which doesn't complain wheen opening whatever I need. What says the braintrust? Is this an arch issue or is it a kdemod issue? Any help would be appreciated, thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
