          I found this little pearler while playing around with Freespire. It is odd that I found it there seeing as how they run as root by default but there ya go.
 
Just download this, open it and copy the three files into /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
 
What you get is this:
 
 
 
 
While I'm at it; i have realised that if you use a totally different colour scheme for your root user than your normal users then it is obvious when you have a root filemanager open and not a user one. It can save a lot of headaches.
 
 
**Edit** I just had to change the picture from that cheesy Freespire one to this one of Kanotix with XGL.     Much better |

          I'm sorry, i'm kind of new at all this and very little experience with Linux in whole.  Seems anytime i start to make any progress i get stopped by "permission denied"  I can't seem to log in as root, so i really am having a hard time learning how to use this OS.  
 
 
You mentioned to just drop the files in to a folder that is owned by the root.  How do I get around this? |

          @cathbard: I loaded the file you suggested, unpacked it and put the contents into /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus - 
 
and what to do now - presently nothing has changed on my PC-
 
is there an additional step or command necessary to effect the expected changes of the desktop?

          great idea Cathbard   hope we can find that in the next Kanotix release!
 
 
i copied the three files only for my user, so i will still have that service menu when i copy my home to another machine or a new installation. the folder for only one user is:
 
 
Code: 
/home/user/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
 
 
 
it worked immediately, no logout was needed. |

          I have added an option to the root's actions servicemenu to create a directory as root, maybe someone finds it useful too:
 
 
[Desktop Entry]
 
ServiceTypes=inode/directory
 
Actions=MkdirAsRoot
 
 
[Desktop Action MkdirAsRoot]
 
Name=create directory as root
 
Name[de]=Verzeichnis als root erstellen
 
Icon=folder_red
 
Exec= sudo mkdir `kdialog --inputbox "Please enter name of new directory:" "%U/"`
 
 
And regarding different colors for root - why not additionally use a special root  icon theme with red folders?

Once you copy the files into the directory it adds a service menu item when you right click on some blank area inside konqueror like the picture shows.
 
 
I do use different icons for root user but those look very appropriate. DL'ing them now    |
