Description Sebastian Urban 2000-11-26 17:43:55 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: konqueror
Version: 1.9.8 (KDE 2.0)
Severity: wishlist
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS: Linux 2.2.14 i686 (compiled sources)

A "Run/Open as user..."-command in the right-mouse-menu would be very nice. Users would then be able to
start programs or open documents without using the "Run..." dialog.

Comment 2 Diederik van der Boor 2004-03-31 23:33:15 UTC 
Perhaps it would be an idea to integrate these desktop files in the konqueror package, a "run as root", and "browse as root" service menu item found at kde-look.org:

Comment 4 Yves Glodt 2004-12-29 19:10:15 UTC 
If you are logged as normal user and want to run e.g. an application installer
as root, right now you can help yourself by selecting "Open with"->"Other" from
the RMB menu and then typing "kdesu"
Comment 5 FiNeX 2008-05-13 15:07:44 UTC 
Yves is right, but most of users doesn't know what kdesu is.
A service menu could be useful. This could be added even on the new KDE4.

This could solve the old bug #5522 too.
