Is this properly a Fedora or an upstream issue? If the KDE/Konqueror code upstream contains prejudice against operation as root, then Fedora has no finger in this pie: it simply packaged the code. The "allow/disallow root" argument belongs upstream; it is not a Fedora issue. If Fedora has modified the upstream code to create this aversion to run as root, then there are two questions: 1. Is it approprate to do this? This thread already contains enough comments to strongly suggest there will be no concensus about this. 2. Has this been done in a thoughtful way? It may be an appropriate default setting (avoids risks Fedora thinks users may not expect or understand), but it should be possible to modify this default so root operation of Konqueror is possible. If one builds Konqueror from upstream source, does it balk when invoked as root? If it does, argue upstream. If it does not, look further into what Fedora has done, but you now have a Konqueror you can use as root. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
