3 really annoying things i would love help with

[Cyberfed]

running mandrake 9.1


annoyance #1 is there a way to create an icon that will automatically launch konqueror as root? I am constantly needed root access and i cant stand having to keep typing my pw and loading up konqueror to manipulate files


annoyance #2 how can i tell konqueror to remember window size and position? Everytime i click the icon it opens up and its small and i want it to be bigger and at the bottom of my desktop not in the dead center.

annoyance #3 i've noticed that when i open up an email (in evolution) and there is a link embedded , i click it and it will not launch netcape...even if i right click over the url and select open in browser. It will however work if i already have netscape open it'll open a new window just fine. why does it want netscape to be open first? is there a way to change that?


Thanks folks

1. I don't know there is any KDE "correct" way to do that, but create a SUID root program that execs konqueror. For some reason, interpreted programs don't seem to be able to be SUID (can someone tell me why?), do create and compile this C program instead:

#include <unistd.h>

int main&#40;void&#41;
&#123;
    execl&#40;"/usr/bin/konqueror", "konqueror", NULL&#41;;
&#125;

Compile it and make it SUID with these commands (providing you named the file rootkonq.c):

gcc -o rootkonq rootkonq.c
chown root:root rootkonq
chmod 4755 rootkonq

Then create a menu item pointing at that program.

I don't know about #2; I don't use KDE.

3. Probably something wrong with netscape. Check your .xsession-errors to see if you can find an error.
