in our customized system we usually use gksu instead. IIRC kdesudo got some problem when running by user clicking a desktop file, i.e., by putting kdesudo into the Exec Ina desktop file. However I forgot what problem it had since it's been a long time ago. Franklin -- Sent from my phone 2017

it's a bad idea to use kdesudo or gksudo to open a GUI app. On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 9:19 PM, Dale Trombley wrote: > I'm one of those that always assumed anything graphic needed kdesudo (as > opposed to gksudo). Am I wrong in that assumption? > > On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 5:46 PM, Aleix Pol wrote: >
