how to run kdesu without asking password?

[erikmccaskey64]

if i 


visudo
MYUSER ALL=(transmission-user) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk


and 


xhost local:transmission-user
sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk


then it works perfectly. but my original problem is that it needs a "gnome-terminal" (i need the "kdesu" or whatever in a .desktop file):


echo -e '#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open\n\n[Desktop Entry]\nVersion=1.0\nType=Application\nTerminal=true\nIcon[en_US]=gdu-encrypted-lock\nName[en_US]=transmission-user\nExec=sudo -u transmission-user -- /usr/bin/transmission-gtk\nName=transmission-user\nIcon=gdu-encrypted-lock' > transmission-user.desktop
chmod +x transmission-user.desktop



this is important:
Terminal=true


if i set this to false, it doesn't work. if i set this to true, sudo perfectly works, but theres a gnome-terminal opened.


theres no gksu under Fedora 14.


but thank you!

It lloks like it's a kubuntu app (!); sorry.

In GNOME, you can set gksu/gksudo to use either su or sudo as a 
backend either at the cli with "--su-mode" or "--sudo-mode" or 
permanently in the gconf settings. 
 
I don't use KDE so I don't know whether it's possible (it *must* be) 
and, if it is, how. :(
