Commit Details
Features in Development Tools
Hamish Rodda committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdevplatform:
Support running programs as other users, using kdesudo.

Reads the entry "Run As User" in the project config file, which currently has no gui.

For the bugreport, the only thing missing (apart from the gui to configure) is to make gdb run the process as the given user - maybe gdb itself has to be run as that user?
Bug 60165: debug root priv app

kdesudo is not part of KDE proper. It's an ubuntu specific feature. My fedora
boxes, for example, don't have it. You should be using kdesu instead.
