This has been a on/off solution for me, currently on. I right-click the
konqueror icon in the menu and select 'add to panel' (since you're asking
about konqueror, I'm assuming you're running KDE); once the icon appears in
the panel, right click on it and select 'Icon settings'; go to the
'Application' tab; click on 'Advanced options' and there you can tell it to
run as a different user where you can type in 'root'. Close the advanced
options window and in the 'Command' field, you can change 'webbrowsing' to
'filemanagement' and then, close the settings window and try it.
What I've found is that it's hit and miss; sometimes this works, and sometimes
not; sometimes it works for awhile, and then stops working; it also sometimes
requires a logout/login to get it working again. Lately, it's been working
stably for me on this particular machine - I've seen the same behavior on
several machines doing this, and I haven't been able to pin down the reason. I
have another machine at my office where this is simply not working, even though
I'm doing exactly the same thing to set it up, so, good luck.
