i assume you mean you setup a menuitem to run a paticular application as root |
| 6 |
like say to run konsole/konqueror as root. |

if its a menu item then it has to use kdesu, because sudo and su both take the |
| 11 |
password from teh std input (you wont get a gui prompt to enter the password), |
| 12 |
and nothing will happen. all you have to do is fire up the menu editor, go to |
| 13 |
your menu entry and make sure the command field looks like this "kdesu |
| 14 |
konsole", if it does look like that , try running kdesu from a konsole session |
| 15 |
and see what it prints out (it may not be installed for starters). |
