           Summary: Automatically retry action with kdesudo if permission
                    denied
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: me at alandmoore.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When attempting an action that is prevented by lack of permissions -- for
example, trying to edit a config file under /etc or /boot -- instead of merely
getting a permssions error, the user could be presented with a dialog informing
them that there was a permission problem, and asking if they want to retry the
action with kdesudo/kdesu.

Naturally, this would be accompanied by the necessary warnings; also, it should
be only activated if the user is in the sudoers file or has execute privileges
on /bin/su, as appropriate.
