Bug Description

I just installed kde4 under gutsy following the instructions http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php .
I had already tried some alpha release of kde4 and I was not so impressed.
But right now I am in love with kde4. It's amazing, a gorgeous experience.
The only small problem I have found is that when running, e.g. adept, I am asked the root password instead of my own one. Of course if I enter my password I get an error. I think the problem is that kdesu is called instead of kdesudo, or something like that.
Probably the kubuntu people haven't yet customized kde4 for the *ubuntu policy of using sudo.
Thanks,
Luca

I can confirm this behavior. Although I'm not really sure where the correct place to report this is or what to file the bug against. These packages come from the kubuntu-members-kde4 PPA not the Ubuntu repo. I've assigned this bug to kubuntu-members-kde4. Hopefully, they can send this in the right direction.
