I make a Icon on my desktop 'KonquerorSU'

Step
1. right click on Desktop and 'Create New'   'link to application'  
2. Properties window opens up.
3. In "General Tab" I give it a name of KonquerorSU, and then I click on 
Icon on left top  and give it a Icon.
4. In "Application Tab" at "Command" I put /usr/bin/konqueror . also in 
Application Tab at bottom right I click on
    "Application Options" and then  ' Check'  "Run as a different user" 
and at "Username" type in 'root' .
5. Then click on OK at bottom and you have a KonquerorSU icon on Desktop.

Now for the worst of it all !!
After you open a text file using Kwrite a few times.
Then shutdown KonquerorSU filemanager and have to open it again to edit 
a new text file in Kwrite, it's going to give you a error message "Can't 
launch Kwrite".
You then will have to restart KDE to get it to Edit text files in SU KDE.

That error message, can't launch Kwite has been a problem in KonquerorSU 
for the past KDE releases.
And I have been to lazy to report it to bugzilla.kde.  If anyone knows 
how to fix it I would like to know about it.
