Bug Description

Hello,

kdesudo ask for the wrong password while trying "kdesudo -u <user> <program>". Tried this (assuming "kaputtnik" is the first user):
 * "kaputtnik" creates a new user "test"
 * logout and login to "test", defining a password for "test"
 * logout and login to "kaputtnik"
 * try running "kdesudo -u test konsole", a popup appears, asking for the password from "test", seems to be ok, but:

Typing the password from "test" causes a message "wrong password"!
Typing the password from "kaputtnik" everything is fine, konsole opens and the environment seems to be the environment from "test"

I don't know, if this a security hole. Maybe it is only a wrong text in the popupwindow?

Using Kubuntu 9.10
Language: German

$ kdesudo -v
Qt: 4.5.2
KDE: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)
KdeSudo: 3.1
