Running KDE as root

0

KDE panels look strange with black colors when I login using root account.

Is it possible to make KDE look normal?

I am using root account because I spend most of the time performing administration tasks and I don't want to type my strong password so frequently.

log in with the normal / user account.

and use sudo su - to be root in the terminal. in case the administrative tools you use are GUI based start them from the root terminal

1Thank you for your answer but this is actually my workaround for this issue. What I really need is to know how to configure KDE to look the way I want exactly. – mmonem – 2010-08-16T08:58:46.873
