Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdesudo

Under some circumstances a kdesudo dialog popup appears at login (say,
when NTFS disks are being automounted).  The popup does not contain any
text that gives a hint as to what application is calling kdesudo.
Kdesudo should take an obligatory argument (test to be displayed) that
describes the application in enough detail that the user understands
what application is being given admin privs.  Otherwise, the user is
faced with a decision about whether to give admin privs to some unknown
and potentially harmful application.
