Bug Description

(This bug echoes bug #345619 in gksu)

kdesudo doesn't pass its standard input along to its child process.

TEST CASE:

echo foo | kdesudo cat

EXPECTED RESULT:

The program should print "foo"

OBSERVED RESULT:

The program hangs

I've observed this in Jaunty, haven't tested in Karmic.
