   Specifically, konsole 25.8.1 on Ubuntu, konsole 25,12,1 on Fedora and   
   Endeavour (Arch).   On Ubuntu and Endeavour attempting to open a GUI   
   fails. On Fedora, Dolphin does start with a notice that running it as root   
   is not advisable.   
      
   Also, on Ubuntu I am in the 'sudo' group and on the other two 'wheel'.   
   Just how sudo is set up depends on the distro.

   Can not. That one uses gnome-terminal but is derived from Ubuntu  and uses   
   the 'sudo' group.
