If my understanding is correct, this is a security feature of Linux.  Konsole
does not have permissions to inspect some details of a program which is being
run with 'su'.  Usually when you start programs they are running with the same
user as Konsole (the user you logged in as), so it can read their status
(including environment, command line and current directory).  This status
information is provided by the kernel through files in /proc/<process id>/

When you run a program as root, Konsole only has limited access to information
about the current status of that program and information about the current
directory of that program is not available.
