Well, KAuth support is improving (even though it is not released yet), so I'll
mark this as a dublicate of KAuth bug.

Once KAuth support lands in, kdesu or sudo will no longer be used.

Yeah, something is strange. It shouldn't just hang. Maybe try getting some help
from Fedora users. This might be configuration issue, so they might be able to
help more.

I have no idea.

I have no ~/.config/kdesurc file. I used kwriteconfig5 to tell it to use sudo,
and tried to start partitionmanager from kicker again. This time when I entered
my root password and pressed enter the dialog froze, and I had to kill it!
(Close the window, then confirm I wanted to terminate the non-responsive
application).

If I change back to using 'su' I get the original behaviour. So it looks like
using 'sudo' doesn't work either, but fails differently (I guess I need to edit
sudoers to allow it? but it shouldn't just hang).

Hmm, not sure what is hapenning. Is your kdesu configured to use su or sudo?

In principle we want to move away from running KPM as root. kdesu is obsolete.
But porting to KAuth/Polkit will take time, as quite a lot of refactoring is
needed (e.g. need to port away from libparted). Once KPM runs rootless, this
should resolve anyway...
