Description Cepreu 2008-06-26 23:08:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Dolphin, launched by command "kdesu dolphin" does not work.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press "Alt+F2". Enter "kdesu dolphin", where /usr/bin/kdesu - symbolic link to
/usr/libexec/kde4/kdesu.
2.Enjoy.
  
Actual results:

Comment 2 Steven M. Parrish 2008-06-27 23:51:29 UTC
I probably am mistaken but if I remember correctly from what I read Dolphin does
not have a super user mode.  Maybe Kevin or Rex can shed some light on this.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2008-06-27 23:57:46 UTC
There's no menu entry for it, but of course Dolphin is expected to work when 
run through kdesu!

Comment 4 Steven M. Parrish 2008-06-28 00:12:11 UTC
See I knew I was mistaken. I did check upstream and did not find any matching bugs.

Comment 5 Cepreu 2008-06-28 01:49:26 UTC

Comment 6 Steven M. Parrish 2008-06-28 19:29:32 UTC

Thanks for reporting upstream.  KDE 4.1 release is imminent, please let us know
