Newer GUI package management applications for KDE like Muon and probably some other packagekit based one only ask for root permission when they do need it. IMHO that is way better than to fire up the whole GUI based application with root permissions including essential GNOME or KDE based services. But I did not yet found one for KDE that works as expected and is packaged officially. -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
