I was too quick it seems, or it still is too many trees obscuring the woods.

I set optimistically out to use 'kdesu' but that was easier said than 
done. I looked at the PyKDE API reference and there it is actually 
listed a 'kdesu' module, but the link gives a 404. Also the 'kdesu' 
seems to be nonexcistent in PyKDE??

So I guess I'm left with using a shell script or something to start my 
main program through 'kdesu'...

Or have I missed something essential... again? ;)
