Hi, 

I tried to install the LennyBeta2 KDE CD1 in Qemu and disabled the internet 
access (said during the install "just use the CD") and it did not... But I 
admit that this it "corner-case"

One solution for KDE3 is to install the kdesudo package and 
to "dpkg-reconfigure" it to accept the usage of the kdesudo as drop-in 
replacement for kdesu. It will then use sudo.

I CC'ed debian-qt-kde to get their piece of advice. Mine (as user) is that if 
sudo is used, kdesudo is necessary for good user experience.

AFAIK, it is what they use.
