File manager for root?

[envirojo]

I wonder if you can help me ...
I need to know how do I invoke konqueror as 'root' in kubuntu?

Also I like to have one background colour in the konqueror file manager for the unprivileged user, a different colour for root so that I know what permissions belong to each konqueror session.

How do I change the background colour of the konqueror file manager?

Much obliged if you will help.

Re: File manager for root?

You can start a 'root' konqueror session with

kdesu 'konqueror --profile filemanagement'

(--profile filemanagement starts konq in filemanagement mode instead of web browser mode)
You can of course create a desktop shortcut for the command in the panel or the kmenu.

If you wish to change the file window background for root konqueror sessions, go to View>Configure Background when in 'root' mode. If you wish to change the UI colors, you can edit root's color settings by starting kcontrol or systemsettings in root mode with kdesu, as well.

kdesu systemsettings
