You're right, sudo _can_ be used.  So maybe I should focus on trying to find a 
distro that functions this way.  One slight problem: although sudo makes it 
_possible_ to run command-line configuration tools as a non-superuser, it 
does not offer any benefit in the area of KCMs.  Since the KCMs most likely 
use libraries, not command line tools.

Sincerely,

Luke Sandell
