Bug Description
Hello,
when using the -u option of kdesu (as in "kdesu -u auser -c kwrite"), a password dialog pops up (as expected), but the only password working is that of the admin user, the password of user "auser" (from the example) is not accepted. The owner of the process "kwrite" is auser, all permissions are evaluated for this users and the home-directory is correct, just the password is not auser's. This is a bug - or is it a feature?
best regards,
raph

Hello again,
just tested this on dapper and there it is even worse, just error messages and finally a crash dialog.. (since this is fairly easily reproduceable, I didn't include the error messages here.)
