Hello,

I haven't worked on a vanilla kubuntu-desktop installation for more than a few 
minutes (I use a pre- kubuntu-default-settings user), but when I think about 
it super-user konqueror maybe shouldn't be removed. For a normal user this 
seems to be the only way to do administration tasks in a comfortable gui 
environment - where he doesn't have to enter "cryptic commands" just to move 
a (system) file, change a setting (e.g. open and edit a config file).
As long as the kubuntu philosophy doesn't include something like "users 
shouldn't do administrations", which would be bad because I think any 
competent user should be able to be their own admin, super-user konqui should 
probably be back.
