Re: [Gambas-user] kdesu vs gksu

Re: [Gambas-user] kdesu vs gksu
Hey, thanks for your quick reply, David I'm going to test it now. I didn't know of these constants before. Just in case they match, because I've found in OpenSuSe 11.1 with KDE 4 that it is the opposite, it comes with gksu (at least in my testing VM). Also, we may use which gksu to know if it is installed, otherwise we can assume kdesu is. Hmmm... Thanks a lot!
