Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdesudo
Under some circumstances a kdesudo dialog popup appears at login (say, when NTFS disks are being automounted). The popup does not contain any text that gives a hint as to what application is calling kdesudo. Kdesudo should take an obligatory argument (test to be displayed) that describes the application in enough detail that the user understands what application is being given admin privs. Otherwise, the user is faced with a decision about whether to give admin privs to some unknown and potentially harmful application.
