Subject:    [PATCH] kdesu dialog simplification

Hi all,

  Patch below removes the line in the kdesu dialog which tells what command it 
was feeded, ie. "Command: /usr/local/kde_stable/bin/kcmshell clock --lang 
en_US". 

Reasons why it's bad to have that line:
* It is not informative.
* It is repulsive and puts the user in a fraightened mood - just like ERROR 
codes tends to do.
* It makes a simple interface complex.

Reasons to have it:
* Those with *@kde.org knows what it means.

IMHO ofcourse :)

What do you think?


cheers!
Frans

(patch against KDE 3.1.1a, unified format)
