There's also kdesu for X apps - "kdesu kate" will load the Kate editor with root privileges. I've been told that one shouldn't use regular "sudo" for X applications but I'm not entirely sure of the reasoning (seemed to work fine when I tried it).<br>

--Hi,<br>
<br>
I think youll find KDE4 is still under development and a lot of features<br>
are still missing. KDE3 is the real stable version.<br>
<br>
Add sudo to commands like 'sudo passwd' or 'sudo sshfs.........' give<br>
you root privileges and I use sudo -i to make me root user.<br>
<br>
Kubuntu does have a change user gui but it is loaded with one of the<br>
extras packages.<br>
<br>
Regards, Peter.<br>
