            Bug ID: 397016
           Summary: Dolphin doesn't ask for root password when creating
                    links of files
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

When trying to create a symlink between folders that require root access,
Dolphin would not ask for the root password before performing the operation -
instead, it will simply fail due to lack of permissions.

Steps to reproduce:
* Open two folders in which the user doesn't have write permissions (e.g.
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/ and /opt/google/chrome/).
* Drag and drop some file from one of the folders above to the other.
* When it asks what to do with it, select "Link here".

Expected behavior:
* Should ask for root password and create a link.

Actual behavior:
* Fails due to permissions
