There are arguments either way, but the important thing is that it should
work exactly as sudo does (in fact, I don't see how it can be different),
and now that I think of it, sudo is definitely tied to the individual
session - if I have two sessions open in kontrol, their sudo timers are
independent.

It's not just the Kubuntu team - you'll hear the same complaints from the
gnome side.  I agree, whether or not they prompt to replace the theme every
upgrade is rather irrelevant - why should we need to choose?
