Actually, the session menu is Konsole's, and you can easily fix this.
Open a konsole, go to Settings - Configure Konsole, then click on the Session 
tab. Select 'Root Midnight Commander', and in the 'Execute' section, replace 
the command there with 'sudo mc' (no quotes).

Click 'Save Session' then 'Apply' and it should work
