kpassworddialog, kdesu

[John Tapsell]

Ah excellent :-)

Btw, it's currently not very clear whether you are supposed to type in
the root password, or type in your own password (for when you use
sudo).

Also, what do you think about being able to specify multiple users?
For example if user 'johnflux' wants to kill a process by 'aseigo',
kdesu could let me chose whether to enter aseigo's password, or root's
password.  Either would have sufficient privileges.  (with modern
security frameworks, it might even be more complicated than that)
