Public bug reported:

Generate program link on desktop. 
Specify command 
  kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement
Name it f.i. konqueror (su)
Start Konqueror (password will be required)
With Konqueror change into /etc  
Select for example hosts
Right click with mouse opens context menu
Select in context menu open with -> kate

This results in Konqueror - Error: KDEinit cannot start "kate"

Workaround and boring:
Generate an additional program link on desktop
specify as cmd: kdesu kate
Start it  (password will be required, too)

After Kate runs, user may drag and drop files from kdesu konqueror to
kdesu kate.

Solution1: Remove entry open with in konqueror while running in context su
Solution2: Fix the problem.
