KDESU wouldn't be directly in the menu, because it needs to know what program to run as root before it can be run itself. I.e. it has to be run as 'kdesu appname' not 'kdesu'


If you click 'run' in the K-Menu and hit 'Advanced' you can do the same thing as kdesu using the run dialogs 'run as another user' thing.


Creating a desktop or panel icon to run 'kdesu konqueror' and so on for diff apps you want to start as root isn't to tricky to setup though. Just make sure there is a decent password on the root account if many people are often around your logged in PC, when your not ;-)


I don't do it for kdesu wrappers... but I've always found it best to put very often used apps in quick reach via a button or icon (y).
