What we actually want, is telling in s-c-p's .desktop file: "If the user
is in lpadmin, run s-c-p as normal user, otherwise run it through gksu".
This is not possible to do in the .desktop file itself, but this
condition can be checked in s-c-p code: either in the binary itself (if
it does not have sufficient permissions, it could exec itself through
gksu), or the .desktop file calls a wrapper shell script instead, which
checks for group membership and then execs the real s-c-p through gksudo
IFF the user is not in lpadmin.
The latter is preferable, since s-c-p shuold not hardcode gksu (you can
certainly use it from KDE, too). So the wrapper script should detect
what's available (based on running session, then gksu/kdesudo
availability).
