[Bug 72545] Re: kdesu fails when invoked immediately after sudo from terminal

[kko]

A common typo. You mean bug #50971.

 I believe your interpretation of what happens is correct. Incidentally,
I have been exploring this issue too, after my last comment, and meaning
to post here in essence the same explanation as yours. (I arrived at the
same conclusion based on observing what happens, and haven't looked at
the code.)
