** Description changed:

  The KdeSudo window asking for the admin password which appears when I try to 
change
- / add software sources in KpackageKit gives me an "Invalid password" reply. 
+ / add software sources in KpackageKit gives me an "Invalid password" reply.
  
  However, KpackageKit accepts the password for installing / uninstalling 
programs
  just fine, as always.
  
  I then have installed Adept 3.0. But this another package manager does even 
not
  start as KdeSudo asks for the admin password before opening Adept... And it
  happens the same thing. Everytime the answer it's "invalid password".
  
  It didn't happen some time ago. So, perhaps this has to do with the fact that
  when I start kate with sudo for viewing or editing system text files, one 
window
  with the following message appears: "Could not start ksmserver. Check  your
  installation".
  
  Then, when clicking on the "okay" of such window, Kubuntu brings me to the
- initial login screen. (Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378394 or 
+ initial login screen. (Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378394 or
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400594 ).
  
  If I do not click in the okay of such small, white xmessage window, then I can
  continue normally running the OS, except that I can't get KdeSudo to accept
- passwords anymore. 
+ passwords anymore.
  
  But, now, restarting Kubuntu does not solve this problem concerning kdesudo 
not
  accepting the password.
  
  So, I think I not longer can use programs which require KdeSudo to put
  the password.
  
  Software: Kubuntu 9.04 (i386), KDE 4.2.4.

+ TEST CASE:
+ * change the user password to "12345ยง"
+ * run the command: kdesudo konsole
+   - kdesudo doesn't accept the password
+ * update the kdesudo package
+ * run "kdesudo konsole" again
+   - konsole opens with root privileges
