Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Application/System Tools/File Manager - Super User mode 2. 3. Actual results: It does not ask for the root password, and root level operations are not permitted. The Super User mode just isn't. We don't want F9 released looking embarrassing. Expected results: Additional info:
Assigning to kdebase folks since we don't have menu icon for root mode Nautilus.
kde (v4 on f9/rawhide) doesn't have any "File Manager - Super User mode" either, just "File Manager (dolphin)". Oral, what desktop and fedora release are you using?
konqueror doesn't run in root modus because nautilus doesn't support X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true that is used in desktop file. There's a workaround for this issue if kdesu is used, IMO that tool shouldn't be showed in Gnome. it's fixed in kdebase-4.0.3-8
Reopening, the fix doesn't work, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445989#c2 Semicolons must be escaped in shell commands.
Fixed in 4.0.4-2.fc9 and 4.0.72-2.fc10.

For anyone wondering what the exact problem was and how we fixed it: the problem was that KDE's "File manager - super user mode" menu entry was visible in GNOME, but GNOME doesn't support the switch to super user mode. We changed the menu entry to only be visible in KDE.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
