I can't get there. I run Debian.
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?

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 wasn't suggesting giving up your preferences, only offering workarounds for
the period until such time as your expectations can be met.
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.
We don't want that, especially Win10, with its expanded intrusion on privacy. ;-)

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.
Is the root shell option missing from your Konsole menu too?
I find it inexplicable that default installs cant be bothered to include this
unequaled tool. :-(
