Comment 5 for bug 54564

Bug reproduced on kubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64.iso

TEST CASE

Set keyboard layout as outlined by the bug reporter at top.
Create a new userid, say, testkde with any valid password
Using konsole and passwd, change password so it contains a single quote, that is, press the key labeled ' and then press the space bar.
From any other userid issue the following command:
   kdesudo -u testkde ls
You will be prompted for this userid password. It will not accept the password you set previously when you created testkde as kdesudo treats the keyboard input differently.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
