Newer GUI package management applications for KDE like Muon and probably
some other packagekit based one only ask for root permission when they do
need it. IMHO that is way better than to fire up the whole GUI based
application with root permissions including essential GNOME or KDE based
services. But I did not yet found one for KDE that works as expected and
is packaged officially.
