There's a related bug opened for suse which shows this isn't an issue related
to the distro:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=957470
I'm getting this message when trying to lauch konsole as root:
KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kdesu'
~ $ which kdesu
/usr/bin/kdesu
~ $ ls -latrhs /usr/bin/kdesu

~ $ kdesu --version
Qt: 4.8.7
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.21
KDE su: 1.0
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit launch parameters from plasma5 to launch konsole as a different user:
root.
2. launch konsole.
3. the error message will appear in the screen:
"KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/kdesu'".
Actual Results:
No error messages other than the one mentioned above:
no crashes seen in 'dmesg' output or logged messages in '~.xsession-errors'
either, no clear way to debug the issue.
Expected Results:
The launcher should work as when it's invoked via command line.
