Running Mandriva cooker, trying to write some little utility programs
to add to my cairo dock.

Tried (based on one of the examples in the wiki):

Code: [Select]Program RootKonsole;
uses classes, unix;
var S: longint;
begin
  S := fpsystem ('kdesu konsole');
end.   

But it doesn't run anything.  Any ideas?

Got it!! Needs the path to kdesu.

Code: [Select]Program RootKonsole;
uses classes, unix;
var S: longint;
begin
  S := fpsystem ('/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu konsole');
end.
