kdesu --help does not match man kdesu at all, the options are completely different.

It doesn't respect my PAM configuration. I have an authentication token that uses OTP (a Yubikey). ConsoleKit/su/everything else recognises this and presents a pretty graphical box with the correct prompt:

As per pam configuration. kdesu always asks for my root password.

Reproducible: Always




I would love to mark this bug as critical but it isn't. It is however VERY annoying.
