I don't use su.  When I open the Konsole, it asks for a password.  It 
just uses the konsole command but it is told to run as root.  This is 
pretty much how it did in KDE3 tho.  When I open it, it pops up a window 
and asks for the root password.  Then it opens Konsole.  This is done 
from the little K menu thingy.

That make sense?
