I just formatted and re-installed Kubuntu 9.04... The operating system it's
absolutely new now... But KdeSudo still does NOT accept the password, also once
installed all current updates (to KDE 4.2.4, too) and restarting the OS.

I can't access to the NTFS partition, unless I modify PolicyKit authorisations
for mounting internal drives (for which there is not need to use KdeSudo), nor I
can modify the software sources at KpackageKit, or the parameters of
StartUpManager, or to start Kate using KdeSudo. Any applications using KdeSudo
can't start or work properly as do not accept the password.

However I can install programs normally using KpackageKit (and the same
password, even by copy & paste).

Therefore, it has nothing to do with to have used sudo previously, as I thought.
It simply seems to be a KdeSudo bug. And, surprisingly, the OS worked fine for most
a month, before starting to happen this bug.

NOTE.- I have downloaded another Kubuntu 9.04 (i386) image and have checked its
md5sum before burning it with K3b. It also burned Ok. Then I have checked the CD
for possible errors before installing Kubuntu for the third time. Everything went Ok,
but the same bug has appeared once again.

Hardware: Laptop HP 6735b, AMD Turionx2 Ultra ZM80, 2Gb/160Gb.
Software: Kubuntu 9.04 (i386).
