Description gp 2010-11-16 15:57:00 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

If I use a password with non-alphanumeric characters (like ì, à, è, ò and more) kdesudo not longer accepts the password.
es: kpackagekit (or other apps) starts a kdesudo dialog which asks for the password, but fails to accept it. Starting kpackagekit from the command-line (sudo kpackagekit) works as expected.
I have not problems with form login but only kdesudo.
I think this is a huge bug because I can't use the password that I want.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
If use a password with non-alphanumeric characters (like ì, à, è, ò and more).

kdesudo is not part of the KDE Software Compilation. Please report this bug to your distribution.

You could try kdesu, which is the official KDE su helper.
