Public bug reported:

When I start software-properties from the desktop it asks me for my
password and then exits.

If I run kdesudo software-properties-kde from the terminal I am asked
for my password then I get the following trace error

Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using Software-Properties-KDE version 0.92.36 on ubuntu 14.04 LTS
with some optional kde components installed (ie. Not kubuntu-desktop).
