[Bug 41341] kdesu -u option broken

[RaphaelHaas]

Public bug reported:

Affects: kdebase kdebase-bin (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Hello,

when using the -u option of kdesu (as in "kdesu -u auser -c kwrite"), a
password dialog pops up (as expected), but the only password working is
that of the admin user, the password of user "auser" (from the example)
is not accepted. The owner of the process "kwrite" is auser, all
permissions are evaluated for this users and the home-directory is
correct, just the password is not auser's. This is a bug - or is it a
feature?

best regards,
raph
