How can one tell that Konqueror is in Super User Mode?

Usually I open a few Konqueror's windows simultaneously. Some of them could be in Super User Mode. I don't see any indicator for Super User Mode.

Thank all of you. I liked the idea of glebad. I didn't find a way to change the background colour in Konq. but I changed font colour for root and it's fine now.

type ~ in the address bar to see which home directory it takes you to..... :)

Or, use the Home button..... ;)
How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on.

I used to open up a bunch of Konqy windows, some being SU and some not. Then I discovered the "midnight commander" view profile. It's really useful. You automatically have two windows that you can unlink to browse in two separate locations, and you also have a shell down at the bottom so you can SU and do stuff in the commandline without having to actually open a shell.

Check it out. Go to Settings->Load View Profile->MidnightCommander. Quite handy.

root konq

I set the background color to light green for the su'd konq. It always comes up green after that.

A trick

I good trick is to use kstart. With kstart (kstart --help) you can launch applications and add your own title so change your Konqueror Superuser Link to the kstart konqueror --name "SuperUser Konqui" (I think this is the right command) and its done!
