[opensuse] Re: Strange behaviour of KMenu

I updated to KDE 3.5.7-79.2 today (on openSUSE10.2), and I have one
small problem.. can't quite figure it out.

In KMenu, there is an entry for Smart (under System > Configuration).
The Command entry for that menu item is: smart --gui This is what it
should be. If I click that menu item, I get the usual popup asking
for the root password.

Now this is where it goes a bit odd. The Command as shown in the Run
as root window is only the --gui part. If I type in my password at
attempts to launch and returns an error "Command '--gui' not found.

For some reason the KMenu entry is dropping the leading part of the
command. If I remove the --gui part, then no command is issued after
the root password is entered... and of course this errors out.

I created a new menu item for Smart and typed in the various bits.
Same results.

What is your run command? There was a recent thread on another mailing
list that talked about using quotes:

kdesu "smart --gui"
