Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

To reproduce the bug:
	Have a Windows system disk mounted
	Click on 'Documents and Settings'
	Select 'Open as Root' in right panel

Expected behaviour would be to have the directory opened in a new 'root'
dolphin window.

Instead, three windows open, with messages stating they can't open
"[mount point]/Documents" "[home]/and" "[home]/settings".

The same happens if a space is present anywhere in the path of directory
being opened.

Any file with a space in the name exhibits the same behaviour.

Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the bug-report! I know it has not been communicated very
well, but bugs.kde.org for Dolphin is only valid for the KDE 4 version
of Dolphin, the KDE 3 version is not maintained anymore (see also
http://enzosworld.gmxhome.de/download.html section "Dolphin 0.8.2 (KDE
3.5.5)" for more infos).

It has not been decided yet whether the "Open as Root" service menu will
be part of KDE 4.0, so I'll leave this bug as unconfirmed until there is
a decision about this (it might be possible that instead of the "Open as
Root" service menu we'll provide a "Dolphin - Super User Mode" entry in
the application menu).

I think the "Dolphin - Super User Mode" is not so convenience as "Open
as root". "Open as root" is the only feature I missing in Dolphin-KDE4.
And "Dolphin - Super User Mode" is relatively dangerous. Something
unexpected may happen (e.g. move a key file by accident) when exploring
into a deep folder...In case of every app invoked from the Super User
Mode Dolphin will inheritance the super user authority, it's more
dangerous...
