--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
These days we don't consider it safe or sane to run apps as root. Instead, apps
should prompt the user to elevate their privileges only for specific actions
that require it. Kate and Partition manager do this already, and support is
being worked on for KIO and Dolphin/Konqueror/etc.
