Bug#495999: Kcontrol administrator mode is broken and "kdesu" is missing from unstable



The kdesu executable is missing from the path in the KDE 3 version that comes with Debian Unstable, although the discussion here seems to be related to KDE 4.

Here are the steps to reproduce a KControl bug (missing functionality + crash) that might be related to this:
1.Start kcontrol, preferably from a console, to see the debug output.
2.Go to "System Administration" -> "Font Installer"
(alternatively you can go to any other module that has administrator tasks).
3.Press the "Administrator Mode" button on lower left.
4.Notice that there is no dialog requiring the root password, and nothing you can't reach adminstrator mode. Also, there will be some debug output in the console: "QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "m_body", which already has a layout".
5.Switch to another module of KControl and see it crashing.
