On my setup, the mouse-right-click somehow always defaults to the **''"Open As Root"''** item which then hangs for a minute before coming back with the password window. All other computer functions stall in the process. To get rid of this irritating item took a long time to find. The file-manager uses 'Actions' as specified in Freedesktop.org. You have to remove or move the action file.

I create a **.bak** folder in my home folder to keep backups of any removed or edited system files (to be safe). So create this folder if you do not have it..

<code>
sudo mkdir ~/.bak
</code>

Then move the ''open-as-root'' file action to this location
<code>
sudo mv /usr/local/share/file-manager/actions/mb-open-as-root.desktop ~/.bak
</code>

You can also edit out the mb-open-as-root; found in this file (backup made into .bak as usual)
<code>
sudo cp ~/.config/nautilus-actions/nautilus-actions.conf ~/.bak
sudo nano ~/.config/nautilus-actions/nautilus-actions.conf
</code>
