TDE has that capability installed and for good reason.  This has nothing to do with "M$" (Microsoft).  I'm requesting this bug be researched and fixed.  There are times when the system needs custom configuration and a root file manager is the way to do that, especially when you want to be able to set up your system so it can be restored from scratch without having to depend at all on the internet.

About a week ago, I reported this bug in TDE 14.1.3 at 
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/224 but, so 
far, nothing has happened.  Is that where bugs should be reported?

Should be the right place :)

Anyway, I just commented there: Don't open root file manager windows. It's a bad idea in the first place to use a GUI filemanager as root. Can't tell you how often I've seen users trashing their system that way ... and complaining that it's what you do on M$ and the DE has to hande that. But this is the unix way of livey: you are free to shoot yourself if you feel like it.
