I found the problem. In three places the "Exec=su" command has been changed to "Exec=sudo su":

konsole.cpp
su.desktop
sumc.desktop

As far as I can tell, these changes were made in the initial 3.5.11 release.

I filed bug report 853.

konsole.cpp is fixable with a patch to test for both "su" and sudo su."

I don't know the best way to fix the two desktop files on a distro-specific basis. Tim?
