Thanks for the reply Sander,
I've since found that the super user problem only effects konqueror so far.
Both dolphin and kwrite run fine as su -, The only issue and I guess
because I've not switched to kdm yet, Is that the x cursor isn't
inherited in either app run as super user.
The regular x cursor (Not what has been set in kde systemsettings)
Appears when the mouse is over the app running in super user mode.

All in all, kde 4 runs great here.
Thanks again,

Tony
