Solution for hardcoded sudo in konsole schemas

Hi all,

to resolve bug report 853 is ready a patch that selects between "sudo su" 
and "su" depending on the build option WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND.

But as we have noticed, also on Ubuntu is used WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=OFF. 
This would mean that even Ubuntu would not be used "sudo".

That's why I asked what solution to choose for Ubuntu packaging?

1) Apply the patch and leave WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=OFF
2) Apply the patch, but change WITH_SUDO_TDESU_BACKEND=ON
3) Make a separate build option WITH_SUDO_KONSOLE_BACKEND

See: http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=853

Thank you
Slavek
