I put an Intel SSD into an old Dell Inspiron N5110, installed Patience LXQt on it, and have everything but one item working as expected. I installed lxqt-sudo and I observed that it is linked to both "lxsu" and "lxsudo". So, using Alt-F2 "lxsu" I can start pcmanfm-qt or juffed with root privileges and it works great. But qterminal is different. Alt-F2 "lxsu qterminal" fails silently. Investigating, I was surprised to find that Alt-F2 "qterminal" actually opens qterminal with root privileges (the # prompt). Clicking on the dock icon for Qterminal opens it as a user with a $ prompt.
Obviously the laptop is fully usable with this configuration, but I decided to report it in case it is a bug, or a user error.
Thanks!

it's no bug, it's only the history functionality of the runner :) - and lxsu qterminal should just work. There might be some bug in it where our developers are not exactly sure about inherited (or inheriting ) environment variables. The trick is: If you type `lxsu qterminal` next time you type qterminal in the runner this will be the first item in runner history (the blue one) - if one hit enter the runner will use the marked entry.
Edit: one can change this behaviour in the runners settings (the tree horizontal bars) - the hook in 'show history first'

@dibl: that was a really nice one - i filed two bugs:
* Add a Setting for disable the history completely
* Make the shown lines in pulldown configurable
Thanks.

Not only to siduction - to LXQt at all - worldwide, all distributions will contain the changes you requested :D

Well, that is impressive, and thank you Alf for supporting LXQt. The more I use it on these older laptops, the better I like it. Fast and light, but with all needed features for common users like me.
