Ooops. Doesn't QByteArray(LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR) + "/kdesu_stub"
point to the right location? Or is that broken because it's the path on the 
wrong computer?

Because kdelibs3 and kdelibs4 must be co-installable (while kwrite is not in 
kdelibs so no problem with it). But yes, kdesu_stub4 is another idea. The 
libexec idea was to keep things cleaner (hide stuff from users that they have 
no business running directly; keeps their exe-completion clean, too). Of 
course not to the point of breaking things, oops. If indeed the problem is 
"different computers", then the solutions are kdesu_stub4 in path, or running 
the command `kde4-config --path exe --locate kdesu_stub`.
