** Description changed: The KdeSudo window asking for the admin password which appears when I try to change - / add software sources in KpackageKit gives me an "Invalid password" reply. + / add software sources in KpackageKit gives me an "Invalid password" reply. However, KpackageKit accepts the password for installing / uninstalling programs just fine, as always. I then have installed Adept 3.0. But this another package manager does even not start as KdeSudo asks for the admin password before opening Adept... And it happens the same thing. Everytime the answer it's "invalid password". It didn't happen some time ago. So, perhaps this has to do with the fact that when I start kate with sudo for viewing or editing system text files, one window with the following message appears: "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation". Then, when clicking on the "okay" of such window, Kubuntu brings me to the - initial login screen. (Bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378394 or + initial login screen.

If I do not click in the okay of such small, white xmessage window, then I can continue normally running the OS, except that I can't get KdeSudo to accept - passwords anymore. + passwords anymore. But, now, restarting Kubuntu does not solve this problem concerning kdesudo not accepting the password. So, I think I not longer can use programs which require KdeSudo to put the password.
