Another option is to run midnight commander (mc) from the terminal,
after su ing.
Not as pretty as Konqueror though....

No, in a terminal type:

kdesu konqueror

A pop up password logon box will appear, and after you type the root
password 
it will open konqueror as root.  Back in the "old days", before 9.1,
there 
was a shortcut in the start menu for accomplishing this, but it was
removed 
for security purposes.  Since then, I make my own shortcut for this
action. I 
sometimes want to drag and drop files as root, because I am constantly
making 
typos when I try to move or copy from the command line.
