"kdesu wireshark" is one I frequently use, and would be annoyed at having to 
retype my password.

I also believe this is the wrong level to ask for a change in default sudo 
behaviour - instead, I'd suggest encouraging distributions/sudo to change the 
default value of timestamp_timeout - this way, the same issue you're worried 
about would also be fixed for terminal sudo users, and overridable by people 
who like the current behaviour.

This approach:
a) is already implemented
b) doesn't require any kdesu changes
c) doesn't make kdesu act differently to sudo from terminal
