Description Adam Jimerson 2008-05-11 19:44:36 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          i586-suse-linux 
OS:                Linux

Ever sense the ability to let KDEsu remember the root password has been introduced into KDE 3, everytime I launch a program that needs my root password I have to unclick the "Remember Password" check box.  This is starting to get annoying and I don't want to accidentally let it remember my root password.  I think this works in KDE4, which is nice.

Bug confirmed on 3.5.9.
Comment 2 Adam Jimerson 2008-05-27 04:59:31 UTC 
So is there a way to get KDEsu to forget the root password?  Out of late night stupidity I forgot to uncheck the "Remember Password" option and now even though I don't want it to it is remembering my root password.

Kdesu should provide the same behaviour as Konqueror+kwallet. There is no point in having several mechanism for the same thing.

In other words -- please use kwallet and ask the user only at first entry of new user.

somebody seems to have flipped the default, but the value is still not remembered.
