(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kdesu Severity: wishlist It would be nice to be able to to have kdesu start with an option to=20 prompt for a username as well as a password. E.g. have a menu item=20 "Konqueror as another user" which comes up with a menu like that for=20 the current konqueror as root but with a username field as well (by=20 calling [say] kdesu -U konqueror. This is needed where users may have several accounts on a machine but=20 not have root access.

You can run as different user by using -u switch of kdesu...
Yes, but -u requires a name on the command line, it doesn't prompt for one in the dialog.
this request didn't get much support during the last decade, so closing it.
