kde RunAs alternate user using gksudo instead...
Asked by
edA-qa
The "run as a different user" option for an application link seems rather limited in that, well, it never works the way I'd expect.
Firstly, it never seems to use the permission of the "sudoers" file which means it always prompts for a password.
Secondly, it doesn't setup the environment the same as if I had used "gksudo" instead, and gksudo more often than not does what I expect.
I am missing the point of "run as a different user", or should there be an option added to make it run in a more sudo, or gksudo, like fashion?
