I don't understand. I thought you were running Jessie. ;-) What does
running Debian have to do with whatever your objection with Konq and/or
Konsole is?
Debian, by default, will not run a GUI as root. So if oyu try to run a GUI
application from the root Konsole you get:
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi# kwrite
Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed
root@Tux-II:/home/lisi#
I am currently playing with Debian on another box. This has become a source of some
frustration to me, as I'm used to being able to work as root when I want to, GUI and
all!

wrong with getting where you need to go via Konsole?

It's often one of the first things that I add after an installation. :-)

Debian has decided not to allow GUI root log-ins. It
is not a case of "not
being bothered", and there is nothing wrong with Konsole (which is supplied
by TDE, not Debian).
I don't know where this is defined, but if I find it I'm surely going to change
it!
As of this point in time, I find that if I log in as root in a text console, ignoring
the GUI login for the moment, then I can "startx" and it will get me there.
But there's no obvious way to choose what desktop I want, so even though I have
several installed (TDE is coming soon! :-) I'm stuck in Xfce.
Anybody know how to fix either of these things?
