The question I have on the
[PR](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/drkonqi/-/merge_requests/373) is which KDE
components, if any, run as root... I would be surprised if any. My sysadmin
brain says it should be explicitly denied (as intended with the PR that
introduced _this bug_), but here we have this scenario where drkonqi was
running as root -- as seen with at least OpenSUSE and Kubuntu.

While my above posted "fix" solves for this bug while preserving the drkonqi
for root, I would more strongly suggest simply disabling drkonqi for root. This
would align the distros with KDE's design choice.
