If it's really a suid issue, you can run chmod 0755 as root and that
should do the same thing or if the gui thing is more comfortable, you
can do what Tim is saying by doing kdesu konqueror from a user shell.
This will run konqueror as root but beware that you are root in that
process!! the uid boxes should be available then.
