Yes, same here. The behavior Nigel sees on Archlinux is quite certainly the=

default behavior of X.

I would rather assume that Fedora and "Nigel's Debian" :) did something=20
additional.

It is also not related to Konsole, any shell either in a terminal window or=
 on=20
one of Linux's virtual consoles will do.
The only difference is that in a terminal window like Konsole, a simple su=
=20
will usually keep the environment of the shell, in this case the DISPLAY=20
variable "pointing" to the X session the terminal window is hosted in.
