Not entirely... KDE uses kdesu or kdesudo (depending on distribution), and even Kubuntu uses a Qt/KDE based dialog, not a gtk based one :) Some distributions also use a more granular system of permissions called kapabilities[1], developed for Ark Linux, which gives a specific user rights to use very specific tools. This particular system rubs me very much the right way.
