Hmm, but KSu framework does not have any GUI. And it is only used by
kdesu binary itself and krunner_shell library.

I would basically have to reimplement kdesu password dialog. Isn't this a bit inefficient?
Especially, when kdesu dialog is already shown automatically if partitionmanager
is launched from menu.
