Hi!
  After upgrade to SVN branch of 3.5.4, I found that kdesu doesn't work here
now.
  It correctly prompts for the password, kdesu_stub is started but it doesn't
create any new process. It hangs until terminated, for example by Ctrl-C.
  Using kdebugdialog, I've checked all the kdesu* boxes. The only thing which
it gathered was:

>trol@porygon:~$ kdesu konsole
kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:263] Running `/bin/su'
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <Password: >
kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:263] Running `/bin/su'
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <Password: >
kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:358] Child pid 1147
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <>
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <kdesu_stub>
kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:263] Running `/bin/su'
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <Password: >
kdesu (kdelibs): [process.cpp:358] Child pid 1151
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <>
kdesu (kdelibs): [su.cpp:193] Read line <kdesu_stub>
...Ctrl-C pressed
patrol@porygon:~$
 
I've compared this output with another machine with slightly older KDE, where
kdesu works, and it contains the same lines, but less. It looks like something
was run twice.
  I don't want to spam bugzilla until I know for sure that it's a regular bug,
and because I know that the latest change in the kdesu stuff was made in April,
I don't know exactly what's happening there. I would like to do more debugging,
but I don't know what to test now. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

               With regards, Pavel Troller
