My kdesudo rejects correct password (which contains english letters only) when I try to launch any program by other user.

KDE 4.5.1
Qt 4.7.0 (final release)
Kubuntu 10.04

"kdesudo" is not part of the KDE Software Compilation (only "kdesu" is), but a distribution specific addon. Please report this bug to https://launchpad.net/kdesudo
