I think kdesu needs to operate exactly the same way as sudo.  I now see
that's not the case yet.  Your example shows one of the problems.

Here is the output from sudo and kdesu:

sudo "konqueror; dolphin"
sudo: konqueror; dolphin: command not found

kdesu "konqueror; dolphin"

Launches konqueror, then dolphin after konqueror closes.  This is a
concrete problem that should be fixed in kdesu.  However

kdesu should be made to interpret "konqueror; dolphin" (a quoted string)
as a single command, the way sudo does.
