I can confirm this. I'm on KDE 4.3 on Kubuntu Jaunty. I'll try a trunk build later if possible but if you run something like a terminal or dolphin as another user it doesn't seem to care. This is a side note but why can you only do this on the applications' binary as invoked from the command line? Wouldn't it make sense that something like the applications entry from the menu can do this as well? Still valid for 4.3.1 I can confirm this for KDE 4.3.1 on Sidux. I confirm for 4.3.2. Still happens on 4.3.3 *** Bug 184037 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 212383 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Still does not work as of KDE 4.4 RC This option does still not work at all in 4.4.0 I'd prefer having this option disabled until it works instead of having an option which pretends to work but actually doesn't. Could someone uncomment this for 4.4.1 (or even better: fix it! ;-) ). This option does still not work at all in 4.4.0 I'd prefer having this option disabled until it works instead of having an option which pretends to work but actually doesn't. Could someone disable this for 4.4.1 (or even better: fix it! ;-) ). Now this problem slightly changed in 4.5 RC2. It is unknown, whether the selected command is now actually run as a different user - when selecting the option to run as a different user, it is not possible at all to type a username and a password. Both fields just seem to ignore clicking on them. SVN commit 1198162 by mfuchs: The "run as different user" command works again now by using KDESu::SuProcess instead of KDESu::KDEsuClient. The later's behavior was hard to understand, like which pw to enter and how long they will be kept, now the pw will be only kept for this command and has to be always reentered. Further improvements: *The input-fields look different when deactivated. *Also automatically changes the focus to the username-input-field if "use as a different user" is enabled.
