I see that I can open konqueror as the user I am logged in as, but get prompted to save any changes I make to a root owned file. That'll work for me. But still, I don't appreciate some developer(s) deciding I need protection from myself. Sure, make it a "difficult" configuration option for the noobies, but don't make it impossible to me to be productive.
