Well that ran into something interesting:

bash: kdesudo: command not found

I do have kdesu tho.  I tried it and it asked me for the root password
and nothing after that.  No error or anything.

I then tried kdesu dbus-launch dolphin and it seems to work better but
it still doesn't open a text file.  It says this:

KDEinit could not launch '/usr/bin/kwrite'.

Hey, it's closer.  I then tried the 'run command' and selected to run it
as root and put in the password there instead of the pop up window.  It
launches but it still won't open anything. It's back to the Klauncher
error again.  This one won't even open a directory like before.  Makes
me wonder.

I went back to the run command and ran Konqueror as root.  It works
fine.  I can open files owned by root just like in KDE 3. 

It appears that I am doing something that KDE 4 is not expecting me to
do.  I may need to do this differently and just need to figure how. 
Then again, it could be that KDE is working on this and it just isn't
here yet.  It's not like KDE 4 is finished, they are just get started
really.

This give any ideas?  Think of some other way I can do this?  Does it
just need a little more time?
