I tried sux -? to get help
then
sux -c /opt/kde3/bin/kate root

and it opened a kate window that has root privileges.

Which is cool


However its also started kbuildsycoca (in the xterm window) and is rattling
the disk a lot.
CTRL C has quietened it down a bit but its still going now (about 5 minutes
later).

Any ideas?

(ooh its stopped now)
