Description usedonlytosignup 2010-10-08 18:55:22 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

man kdesu directs me to a command:

khelpcenter help:/kdesu

This help document was last updated in 2002 and contains nonsense such as the existence of a control module for kdesu.

Reproducible: Always




You can still control kdesu behaviour with:

kwriteconfig --file kdesurc

or just edit ~/.kde4/share/config/kdesurc

Here is an example one showing the useful options (which you can edit with text editor or modify with kwriteconfig):

[Passwords]
Keep=true

[super-user-command]
super-user-command=sudo

Hi!

Please tell us what locale do you use?

Current reference (English) documentation contains neither nonsense nor KControl references.
