Having just reviewed my post I realise I over-reacted and was rude for which I 
apologise. This comes from responding to mail very late at night when I was 
tired and irritable and is not recommended. I shall revert to my normal 
charming self henceforth! So let's calm down and move on. 

The technical issue remains, however, wrt applications running as root and 
session management. I assume from the replies I got that I have not done 
something wrong and my config files are not corrupt. In previous versions of 
KDE there were always menu entries under System for starting the file manager 
and Kate as super-user and session management for these was transparent. So 
is the omission in KDE 4.2 just that, an omission, or on a todo list, a bug 
or policy?

Once again, apologies.
