Some things I noticed when using kdesu to open Kate.
1. In the password dialog box there was no check box to remember the password.
2. For my root user I have Kate configured to use a pink background rather than white.
That serves as a simple reminder I am working as root and not as a normal user. Yet in
Trinity, after launching through kdesu, Kate did not display the background as pink but
white. Superficially that seems to indicate Kate inherited the normal user's
properties rather than root's.
3. After running kdesu to open Kate, I continually received DCOP error messages of the
effect that KLauncher could not be reached via DCOP. Basically I had to restart my desktop
session thereafter to launch apps.
Comments? Confirmations?

Darrell,
As for 1., it is perfectly normal behavior that kdesu can't remember your
password (otherwise, you would switch to root without being asked a
password).

In KDE 3.5.10 there is a check box named "Keep password." The password is kept
for the current session only, and only for a limited period during the session. The check
box does not serve the purpose of storing the password forever or past the current
session.

can't
remember your password (otherwise, you would switch to root
without being asked a password).
