Description Mikolaj Machowski 2003-10-28 08:46:33 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2

I cannot close root session with shortcut close session.

I can not reproduce what he is trying to do. I have a konsole open and I can close a root session (session from user root) by using ctrl-D (I am using KDE CVS head).

Hmm. I've made cvs up today at 11AM (East Europe) and I can not close
root session with "ctrl+shift+w" (shortcut for close session). 
ctrl+d is "internal" *nix command and has nothing common with this bug.
In addition: menu entry "Close session" doesn't work on root session.

AFAIU problem lies in permissions: ctrl+d is passed to session and is
treated by shell as issued by root and closes shell. "Close session"
action tries to close session "externally" which is impossible because
common user (who issues this command) can not terminate root session.
Because there is no real need to be so restrictive, this privilege
awareness can be workarounded and Konsole should let "Close session"
action to close root sessions.

Both "Close Session" and shortcut for it works for me with "Root Console", "Root Midnight Commander" sessions.

And for me not. CVS 31.10.
Close action shortcut - Ctrl+Shift+W or anything else
and don't work: shortcut, Close session from context menu
and Close session from Tab menu.

KDE 3.2 Beta 1:

CTRL-D works, choosing 'close session' from the context menu of the tab does not work.
