I'm not running 8.10, or KDE4 on Kubuntu, but I've had problems with some 
distros where the superuser file manager is not on KDE's menu.

Looking at HH 8.04, and KDE3, open Konsole, sudo kwrite, then navigate 
to /usr/share/applications/kde/konquerorsu.desktop. Scroll down to the bottom 
of the .desktop file, and change the line NoDisplay=true, so that it reads 
NoDisplay=false, and the superuser file manager will be added to KDE's menu 
at system/more applications, and if you are using KDE4.1 you should be able 
to drag the icon to the desktop.

Of course the path to konquerorsu.desktop if you are using KDE4 will be.
/usr/share/applications/kde4/konquerorsu.desktop

2¢ worth of something that may help.
