See attached. However kdesu/kdesudo does not interface with kwallet. Instead, there is the kdesu daemon that manages stored passwords just for kdesu/kdesudo. Unfortunately, there is no way (that I know of) to change the timeout for storing the passwords. There's also gksu (the GTK frontend to su), but it also does not support changing the timeout of the password storage. -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
