In the long-ago past there were issues when using sudo with KDE(TDE) and a
workaround that allowed you to configure the desktop apps to use su instead of
sudo when administrator rights were needed. In my old notes I have:
Kdesu now again defaults to using su instead of sudo because of various
problems with using sudo there. You can change the default back to sudo using
kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key
super-user-command sudo
(or you can change from sudo to su by changing the --key super-user-command su)
If you are having problems with sudo, this is something to check. I don't know
what the default is for TDE or whether this was ever a patch incorporated in
TDE or if it was just an openSUSE patch of KDE3 -- Slavek will know :)
(not intentionally throwing Slavek under the bus...)
