[opensuse-kde] kdesu starts at login

Hi there, on Leap 42.1 when I log into a KDE session kdesu pops up and asks for root password. It wants to run this command: /usr/bin/kdesu -u root -- /usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd -session 10117c9..... What is kactivitymanagerd and why does it want to run with root permissions?

Well, I use a plasmoid that reads SMART status from harddrives, maybe that asks for root permission? At least I´m not aware you could read SMART status without root.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

kactivitymanagerd is running here under my user account, not root. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
