[opensuse-project] What's the secret of the live installer?

Hello everyone,

I'm sending a question here want it's now more than 6 months that I'm trying
to build a localised live CD of openSUSE with SuseStudio. Everything is fine
but I encounter a very big problem:
If I install the RPM Yast2-live-installer, the desktop file (on the desktop
or in the menu) asks via kdesu the live user for a root password. I've tried
many things (adding the user to sudoers, changing the parameters of the
desktop file, empty root password, etc...) but nothing does it right.
See here for a history:

When I run the official oS live CD, everything goes fine: no password asked.

So I ask the question to some openSUSE GURU's who build these
official live CD:

What's the secret of the live CD?

I can't imagine distributing a live CD that asks for a password to install
itself on the computer and I don't want to make unsafe things like
"autologin as root" (someone gave me that as solution).

Thank you in advance for your help.
