That's not strictly true. I run stock Debian and almost never logon as root, I
always use sudo. I know plenty of Ubuntu and Mac OSX people logon as root all
the time, even though the root account is "inactive" by default.

I suppose. I think all you really needed to do is see a running KDE3 system, I
think it's obvious how the profiles work and you can recreate the settings
from KDE3 that you want in KDE4 without too much of a problem.

I wouldn't bother, it's a lot of effort for very little gain, getting the hang
of a profile is probably more useful.
