Which version of Konsole/KDE do you have?
KDE4 radically changed Konsole and "Root Konsole" went away on my
Debian system - nothing to do with Ubuntu as far as I'm aware.
To create a new "Root Konsole" you probably need to create a new
Konsole profile that executes the correct command. I've done this
for SSH sessions but I don't use a root konsole so I've not done
that.

Hacking this file is probably not a good idea.

If you are on KDE4 then the old KDE3 config files are not going to
help a great deal...
