3.5.13 is now working fine (so far) with kdesu. Thanks Trinity team for
dealing with bugs 394/451.
There is still an issue (here at least) with some apps, usually gtk,
that use by default "gksu" (e.g. gparted) or "su-to-root -X -c
command"
(many of my custom scripts) Synaptic is ok, it already has a .desktop
file for kde
The problem is just like before, e.g. "klauncher could not be reached
via dcop" requiring relogin or to call kdeinit in a terminal (if you can
get one)
This is however minor and easily fixable compared to 3.5.12, where sudo
was mandatory by default (unacceptable for many Debian users)
I note also, <sux> still causes similar errors (worked in kde 3.5.9/10
in Debian Lenny)
Workaround, if affected: Change relevant .desktop files to include
"X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true" OR using kmenuedit tick "run as different
user" OR just call <kdesu rootappname> in terminal or run box. Don't use
"sux". Check your custom apps/scripts.
Regards,
David
