Description Zé 2008-03-10 22:10:40 UTC

Version:           1.6.6 (using 3.5.9, Mandriva Linux release 2008.0 (Official) for x86_64)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24.2-laptop-4mde

Im used to run konqueror and from there press keyboard key F4 to open konsole in the directory i want.

Now i runned konqueror as root and again pressed F4 key and for my surprise konsole was opened in the default user home dir, instead open in the same location as konqueror was like uses to happen when runnning konqueror as a regular user.

I cannot reproduce this here with KDE 3.5.8

Steps taken:

1.  Start Konqueror using "kdesu konqueror"
2.  Press F4
3.  A terminal appears.  Running "pwd" prints /root as expected

This was never a bug, sorry.
