In the absence of kdesu, or tdesu, how do you run

Main menu / System / SuperUser, you should have both kwrite and
konqueror.
Unfortunately Konqueror and Konsole. :-(
What's wrong with getting where you need to go via Konsole?
I can't get there. I run Debian.
Konsole is
easy anyway - launch as normal user and su to root.
Even easier than that .....
Buty I miss my beloved KWrite. :-(
To make other run-as-root menu items, make the
item in Menu Editor,
check "Run as a different user", and put root for the Username.
Still haven't tried this.
How often due you find it necesary to edit as root? Is there some problem
using a readily available but more generic editor instead of KWrite for
such tasks?
Not often. But when I do I find KWrite much the best for me. I don't have ot
run TDE. I could run KDE44 or Gnome or LXDE. I don't have ot run KWrite.
In fact, at the moment I can't run KWrite as root, but I want to run KWrite.
And yes, there is a problem - I can't see anything else as well. But even if
there weren't, why shouldn't I try to run it just because I want to?
I shall continue to try to use those facilities of TDE that I have
particularly valued over the years. If I can't, I can't. One day I may even
be forced to choose between KDE4 and Windows.

Are these Konsole session menu options missing on Jessie? MCEdit is how
most system configuration maintenance gets done on all my installations.
And of course, MC is one of the oldest and most feature packed file
managers available.

Sorry, I can't see what you are getting at here. But no, Konsole doesn't
offer me mc. Probably because I haven't got mc installed.
