kdesudo does not support umlauts in the password

[Axel Hübl]

Version: 3.1 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS: Linux, Kubuntu "karmic koala"
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages

If you type in a password including one or more umlauts, the kdesudo program
tells you, that this is the wrong password.
If you use sudo [program] via console, everything is nice.

The normal sudo command supports umlauts in passwords.
If kdesudo is a graphical front-end for sudo, it should support the same
features like sudo.

I confirm this bug under Kubuntu Maverick (64 bits) using KDE 4.5.1.
I've also reported the bug in the KDE bugtracker [*] but kdesudo is not part of KDE SC but just of Kubuntu.

kdesudo has moved to KDE infrastructure.
