>Description:
Basically kdesu doesn't work. If you go to the k menu, click on
preferences->system->login manager (as a non-root user) then
a dialog box will pop up that asks for the root password. Enter
the proper root password for that system, and nothing happens. If
you look at the log for that (for me in .xsession-errors) you can
see this:
ken:~:> kdesu /usr/local/bin/kcmshell kdm
kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:280] Echo mode still on.
kdesu (kdelibs): ERROR: [su.cpp:93] Conversation with su failed
So the bug appears to be in kdelibs in the kdesu directory.
