Bugzilla is silly sometimes 

I've looked into this and currently the behavior is as expected, changing LXQt
to use gnomesu will likely pull in several gtk/gnome deps that were not needed
previously, similarly with the kde equivalent. I'm guessing its currently
possible to run LXQt with no gnome/gtk deps and some people may want to
preserve that. I've added the LXQt maintainer so he can let us know if there is
extra dependencies that would be pulled in if there is or he is happy to do so
it won't be too hard to make the change.

I also briefly looked at qterminal instead of xterm to see if it could look
nicer for the password prompt (under enlightenment we use its terminal instead
of xterm as that is the case) however, doing so here would require a command
line option to qterm to set the window size and a second option to disable the
menu/tabs. 

There is a further question of whether the generic implementation should first
check to see if gnomesu / kde-su is available on the system and use that
instead of xterm when present but I'd rather discuss that upstream and do a
upstream implementation for that.
