Description Steven Pasternak 2004-12-01 22:39:32 UTC 
Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 3.3.1, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7

When I start up a program as root, and it doesn't die easily, I have to do 'kdesu ksysguard' to kill them. That is annoying. When I need root privileges to kill a process, I want a kdesu window to come up. That is much easier.

Due to the daemon-client nature of this program it would required that the machine you are viewing to have kde installed, and privillages to export to your desktop.  For localhost (usual case)  I think this is no problem.

This is fixed (sorta) in kde4.  I say sorta because at time of writing there are still (apparently) bugs in kde4 kdesu ;-)

Comment 4 John Tapsell 2007-04-26 20:40:46 UTC 
kdesu now works, so this now works properly in kde4.  Closing.
