[Bug 53879] Re: kppp menu entry should launch as root by default

[Harald Sitter]

That is because GNOME is stupid... or maybe because freedesktop.org is
stupid and did not include a way to launch an app as root in their
desktop entry spec. From a KDE POV a special entry can be added to
ensure KDE always launches the executable with kdesu/kdesudo. Since that
is common practise within KDE and since fd.o failed to provide a
standard the only solution is to make GNOME comply with that KDE way of
archiving rootness since Ubuntu would have to patch in special desktop
files for gksudo and whatnot whenever there is one using that KDE entry
for sudo ... which is unmaintanable.

** Changed in: kdenetwork (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
