If I started synaptic 5 times in a session, kdesu would not ask me for the password (if I had checked "keep password"). <br><br>But, regarding the frequent situation: first launch the firewall, then synaptic, and then a Konsole as root, I have to enter the password three times in a minute :-)
<br><br>That is why I find this behaviour illogical: within the same application, the password is chached, but if you run another application, you have to reintroduce the password.<br></div><br></div><br>
