Looks good, so far.

Don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm going to hit "Preview" before "Submit". I've gotten into the habit of doing that, because it seems to work better when I take a long time to compose a post. (I don't get timed out.)

Code:
No kdesurc.
No usr bin kdesu (or kdesudo)
'apt-file search kdesu' shows only kdesudo.
'aptitude search kdelibs' shows that kdelibs-bin, kdelibs5-data and kdelibs5-plugins are installed. Only the dbg and dev packages are not installed.

Googling for "What happened to kdesu?" gets me a thread by the same name at the kubuntu forum. Apparently, kdesu has been replace with kdesudo. Well, that's great if you have sudo configured. Lucky for me, gksu works in kde. I was worried about changing the dependencies for refractainstaller to list kdesu as an alternate to gksu, but I guess I don't need to do that.

So, I installed kdesudo. There's no kdesudorc file, and there are no files with "conf" in the name. The only things in  etc kde4 all have to do with X. Running 'kdesudo kwrite' from the desktop brings up a dialog box. Entering the user's password as requested results in silent failure. Entering the root password brings up a 'wrong-password' box. I'm beginning to feel the way I did during the two days I tried to add a launcher to the panel. (and I mean a launcher that allows me to select the command and the icon.)

OK, it's now usr lib kde4 libexec kdesu


Had to remove all the slashes to get the above to post. The code tags didn't do it. But why did it take slashes in the previous post? (or the sample below?)
