Missed / skipped that one since it didn't seem immediately relevant to me.

I'm maintainer only because noone else wanted it and it was horribly broken on 
several platforms I use, so I had to hack on it. I'd say Ossi probably knows 
more about its inner workings and pty weirdness than anyone else, myself 
included. So I don't feel particularly qualified to comment as a maintainer. 
As far as the move goes, policy dictates that for the code to be usable from 
everywhere it must be in libs, and if we also have decided that this code 
must be usable from everywhere, then logic (spare me your Achilles & the 
Tortoise stories) dictates that it be moved.

I don't like your proposed location, though, since then we get 
kdelibs/kdesu/kdesu/kdesu/kdesu.cpp, for one thing. I'd rearrange a little to 
get kdesu/{lib,daemon,client}.
