Having mostly used enlightenment + openSUSE for the last few years which doesn't have a implementation i've never hit an issue from not having them but maybe other distro's use them more? Once that issue is sorted (or decided that it can wait) i'll have the patch ready to push.

There are "reasons(tm)"(1) why xdg-utils doesn't install xdg-su by default, though I wouldn't object to adopting patches to improve it either. My strong recommendation: just use pkexec (or engineer things to use policykit natively). -- Rex ___ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg

FYI, LXQt now provides its own tool, lxqt-sudo. https://github.com/lxde/lxqt-sudo However, I think pkexec is a reasonable fallback.

xdg-su: using gnomesu in the generic option if available.
Hi All, I was answering an openSUSE bugtracker question re xdg-su and lxqt and the most sensible solution we came to was modifying xdg-su's behavior when running under a generic DE to use gnomesu or kde-su if they are present so I thought i'd put the idea up for discussion in case anyone objects. For reference currently lxqt doesn't have its own replacement for gnomesu/kde-su (well not one I know of) distro's are also highly unlikely to recommend either of those packages with lxqt as they will bring in uneeded kde or gtk packages but by modifying the generic fallback to atleast check for there existence first a user can then choose to use one of them if they please.
