konqueror as file manager

Is there anyway to get a root version of konqueror as file manager. 
On other distros I have used a terminal as root but that doesn't work here.  It takes me to a bash shell.

I have a passionate distaste for Dolphin and can't invoke Krusader as root -- same as above.

Would you create a user account for me on your computer and give me rights to run konqueror as root using sudo?

I think it has something to do with sudo using the user's configuration files, and gksu/kdesu using the root configuration. I first read about it here.
