Well, I would guess you could run vipw as root and change your UID to 0, in effect making your user account another 'root'.

That is not a secure way of doing things though and typically unless performing some administrative function you usually don't have to leave your home directory.


Unless DesktopBSD has some funky K-Menu there should also be a way to launch Konqueror in "Super User mode' which is run as root !
