[kubuntu-devel] Konsole (Administrator Mode)

[Volker Löchte]

By the way starting the [konsole --type su] as different user, doesnt work so 
good as i thought. Starting the normal [konsole] as different user works 
better, but you are right.
Maybe it's best to simply remove the entry from the menu,
because most Ubuntu howto's make use of sudo too.
