Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux I am trying to create a replacement for the old 'Root Shell' which came with kde 3.5. I have created a new profile called root with the command set to /bin/su and the initial directory set to /root/. The initial directory does not work, it goes to my default user directory instead.

Any updates on this? Otherwise I will have to close as WORKSFORME.
This seems to be working now, I have to use su - to get it to work.
This is a problem for me in KDE4.1 Beta2 in Kubuntu. I create a "Root" profile of `sudo $SHELL` with initial directory /root, but it puts me in "/home/user" and in the tab it shows the user as my username rather than what whoami will show (root).
