I had this functionality working a while ago (I use it only occasionally), but

Am having problems running KDE apps as root. To reproduce:
1. Open the KDE Menu Editor
2. Setup a new app item (for example, copy and paste Konqueror to Konqueror-2)
3. Goto the "Advanced" tab and check the "Run as a different user" checkbox
4. Type "root" in the username box
5. Save changes
