Description usrrgt 2009-03-22 17:24:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It isn't a graphical option to run Konsole as root, you must type in Konsole or in KRunner: "su/sudo Konsole" or "kdesu/kdesudo konsole".
"Open terminal as root" option is needed in SystemSettings.

Why do you need to run Konsole as root?  If you want to run the SHELL as root or individual programs as root you can do that using:

su -
or sudo <program-name>

You have not read the description. I know.
This option is to improve accessibility.
Comment 3 Robert Knight 2009-03-23 22:28:43 UTC 
I did read the description.  I do not agree with promoting running the terminal and the shell as root.  People are welcome to do that if they want to and it is easy to set up a terminal profile that starts a shell as root but I would not like the interface to suggest that they should.
