heh - nasty: you put the dialog invocation into the backend class. to be consistent, you'd need to put the error message boxes into that class as well, and thus kill all core/gui separation entirely. ^^
but you hit the nail exactly on the head: the kdesu framework needs to be callback-based instead of requiring a password a-priori. i think the most qt way to do that would be the class emitting a needAuthentication(qstring prompt) signal and awaiting a returnAuthentication(qstring pw) slot invocation in return. the alternative would be handler classes with virtual functions (see kgreeter.h somewhere in workspace).
do you feel like doing it right (and thus providing a prototype for the new kdesu) or want to take the shortcut?
