kdesu no longer works, it refuses the correct root password as being incorrect

kdesu no longer works, it asks for the root password but will not accept
it saying it is incorrect.

This occured after i upgraded my kde rpm's using the
KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_10.2/ repo's on opensuse.org

I can still su with no problem on the command line so the root password
works but not in kdesu. Also "ssh -X-l root localhost cmd" and gnomesu
work as expected

thanks,
