It's not supposed to use sudo, but uses policykit. This works fine
under a standard Ubuntu and a standard Kubuntu install. This is not an
upstream jockey bug, so retargetting.
When do you pkexec whoami, do you get a dialog for your password?
Please give me the output of
dpkg -l '*pol*kit*' |
(1) Output of pkexec:
indigojo@ubuntu-desktop:~$ pkexec whoami

Authentication is needed to run `/usr/bin/whoami' as the super user

Does it help to install polkit-kde-1?
