In a konsole I have typed
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu dolphin

And it promps a kde dialog asking for admin privileges

There has been quite some discussion on this issue in another thread - but has not been very conclusive.

I have had the same problem, but not 100% reproducibly. My impression is that there is an element of "history" (success of kdesu dolphin depending on what I had done earlier in the session) - probably related to dbus. But I never managed to get sufficient and coherent evidence to understand what is really going on.
