I'm running openSUSE 11.1, with kde 4.1, and I can't seem to get kdesu to get
my root password right. I can login via su or su -l or from a terminal just
fine,
but kdesu always says incorrect password and doesn't allow me to run it. Which
makes installing software a real drag!

A little stranger is that, when I log into another account created after
installing 11.1, kdesu works just fine. But my account, who's HOME folder
predates
11.1 (I believe it was new with my 11.0 install), still doesn't work. There's
got to be some kind of magic resource that is messing it up. I tried rebooting
after renaming .kde4 and .kde folders to no avail.

Maybe some kind of weird language mapping thing? Nothing else seems broken
though.
