Does that command work from the command line?
false is the default. true will run the Exec line via kdesu.
Yep. Executing /usr/bin/xdg-su -c /usr/bin/myrlyn starts the following:

Was it a default installation or an upgrade?
openSUSE Leap 16.0 was officially released on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. I did a pre-release install at Sunday, July 6, 2025 and performed the following upgrades:

You seem to be the only person able to do so.
@shundhammer what do you think?
There was a very long beta phase, so yes, that’s absolutely possible.

I was thinking about default configuration files that have changed since then.
It’s not easy to tell.
In 16.0, the system default /etc/sudoers moved to /usr/etc/sudoers. You can write your own rules to a file in /etc/sudoers.d/ to keep your settings separate from the system-wide configuration.
In addition to that, there is now package sudo-policy-wheel-auth-selfwith the new rule to let the members of the wheel user group enter their own password for sudo, and also a PolicyKit rule for the wheel group:
morgul:~ # cat /usr/etc/sudoers.d/50-wheel-auth-self
Defaults:%wheel !targetpw
%wheel ALL = (root) ALL
morgul:~ # rpm -qf /usr/etc/sudoers.d/50-wheel-auth-self
sudo-policy-wheel-auth-self-1.9.17p2-1.1.noarch
morgul:~ # rpm -ql sudo-policy-wheel-auth-self
/usr/etc/sudoers.d/50-wheel-auth-self
/usr/share/polkit-1
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d
/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/51-wheel.rules
morgul:~ # cat /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/51-wheel.rules
polkit._suse_admin_groups.push("wheel");
I don’t remember if I had to install that package manually, or if it was installed by default.
It is mandatory when using Agama:
