Not sure about current state for openSUSE, but KDE itself aims for later than KDE4.3 to use PolicyKit
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151669#c94

(btw, 11.2 M2 uses a KDE4.3 beta, not 4.4, which will release in ~February of 2010)

OpenSUSE used a hackish approach to switch to administrator mode, but in any case you can run systemsettings as root if you think you want this.


Devs will 11.2 have a administrator mode or wait for upstream to do it?

Comment 2 Forgotten User d8u6e9Lt6y 2009-06-09 10:37:18 UTC

sorry, I wanted to say kde4.3 beta1.
the only way to Ustari systemsetting as "administrator" in openSUSE 11.2 mileston2 is:
 kdesu --> systemsetting 

(I found this system)

if you remember with kde 3.x (in suse) there was a button that allows a user to become 'administrator'. was very comfortable
