            Bug ID: 476988
           Summary: kdesu do not let launch "kate" from some months ago
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: rafael.linux.user at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I am a user who usually tries to avoid the need to access the console (CLI) to
perform operations that can be done from Plasma.
I have always used the "kdesu kate /etc/fstab" sequence of instructions to edit
the fstab file from Plasma. However, for months now, it is impossible to even
launch "kate" with administrator permissions.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login as non privileged user
2. "Alt+F2" and type "kdesu kate /etc/fstab" and press "Enter" key
3. Introduce your root password in the window that will ask for it and click
"Accept"

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens after password accepted

EXPECTED RESULT
To open "/etc/fstab" file with root privileges (as for years it worked)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I had a big discussion about it because typical users, who have never used such
a script, denied that it worked, since it doesn't currently work. However, I
have versions from early 2023 and earlier where, as always, it worked
perfectly. There must have been some change in KDE Frameworks or Plasma and
from then on, it doesn't work.
