           Summary: kdesu does not remember password
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: Final
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: KDE4 Workspace
        AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@xxxxxxx

There exists a checkbox on the kdesu dialog that says "remember password"

It is assume the functionality would be thus:

Initiate command that requires sudo/root
kdesu opens
enter credentials
check "remember password"

Next time kdesu is required, the authentication should be retrieved from stored
data. (wallet?) In this situation, the dialog should be bypassed and the
program that required kdesu in the first place would appear.

However, regardless of the on/off state of this checkbox, kdesu always opens
with no text in the password field, thus requiring the user to always enter the
password.  This is bothersome on single user home systems.
