Run programs from Konsole

[Exdaix]

I just installed Suse 8.2 Pro (I'm impressed so far!), and the only thing I have had a problem with so far is running programs from the console. (I use the KDE Konsole)

I like to SU then type konqueror so I can easily modify Admin privelage files without having to logout and log back in. But when I SU and type konqueror, it says bash: konqueror: command not found. What should I do?

NOTE: It works just fine when I try typing konqueror or some other program in Konsole if I don't SU before I try running the command. (For example I can just pop up a Konsole window logged in as a normal user and type konqueror and it comes up)[/i]

As a normal user, run "which konqueror", and then run "echo $PATH" as root. Then post the output of those commands here.
You can also, of course, just edit the files with normal shell commands without resorting to the GUI, but I would agree that the problem should still be solved, not worked around.

Exdaix@Exdaix:~> which konqueror
/opt/kde3/bin/konqueror
Exdaix@Exdaix:~> su
Password:
Exdaix:/home/Exdaix # echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
Exdaix:/home/Exdaix #

From that I see my /opt/kde/bin/ folder needs to be put in my root PATH statement. I am still rather a Linux noobie, so I am unsure as to how go about fixing this.

Thanks for your help so far.

Ok, I found a tutorial on how to add a directory to your PATH. I did it correctly and I tried typing in konqueror and I get the folowing:

Exdaix:/home/Exdaix # konqueror
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

konqueror: cannot connect to X server :0.0
Exdaix:/home/Exdaix #

In that case, you don't have the pam_xauth PAM module installed. The manual workaround for that is to create a symlink named /root/.Xauthority pointing to your user's .Xauthority file. If I'm correct about your system, you would do that by running this:

ln -s /home/Exdaix/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority
