Same trouble here on a kubuntu gutsy gibbon, the "Administrator Mode"
seems broken.

I ran systemsettings from konsole, and click on "Disks and Filesystems", konsole says:
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
$ systemsettings
adding Disk & Filesystems /usr/share/applications/kde/mountconfig.desktop

Pythonize constructor -- pid = 7311
Python interpreter initialized!

Pythonize constructor -- pid = 7311
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<

When I click the "Administrator Mode" button, the following line is added to konsole:
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
passprompt
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<

Sometimes (sorry I cannot say in which circumstances) a window titled "Kdesudo"
appears saying:
"/usr/bin/kcmshell System/mountconfig --embed-proxy 
48237627 --lang fr needs administrative privileges. Please
enter your password for verification"

So I type my password

And in the konsole window, one can read:
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key


kcmshell: cannot connect to X server :0
8<-----------8<---------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<

Hope this will help to solve this annoying bug.


The workaround is to launch systemsettings from the konsole with the
command 'sudo systemsettings'
