Root stuff

[Deven Phillips]

George,

	You have to give the root user permission to connect to your X server
by running "xhost +". In KDE you can just hit ALT-F2, and type the
command. Then run konqueror as root. In Mandrake (and maybe others)
there is an option for a SuperUser konqueror in the KDE menus as well.
