hi,

a user of a KDE apps asked for an alternative to X-KDE-SubstituteUID for non 
KDE desktops: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359962

After some investigation, i found this thread "Mini-proposal for Elevated User 
Privileges in menu-spec": 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2005-May/006893.html

i would like to avoid gksu dependency for a KDE apps. Do i need to provide a 
specific desktop file for each desktops ? or Is there a common way to elevate 
user privilege ?

cheers,

Fathi
