A little while ago I changed my UPS to Leibert and installed NUT. Everything worked as expected. Today I tried to use the MultiLink Viewer icon from the desktop, but it simply accepted the root password without apparently doing anything. I can run the viewer directly (as root) from a file manager.
The icon is owned by me, but the application is set to run as root.
I suspect that the problem is with 'kdesu'. The command
'kdesu /opt/MultiLink/bin/Viewer'
which is what the icon runs, brings
'kdesu /opt/MultiLink/bin/Viewer' bash: kdesu /opt/MultiLink/bin/Viewer: No such file or directory
From a root terminal, however,
/opt/MultiLink/bin/Viewer /opt/MultiLink/jre/bin/java -cp .:/opt/MultiLink/lib/em.jar - Djava.compiler=NONE com.liebert.dpg.app.LxExecutor mainViewer /opt/MultiLink cfg/executor.cfg
What changes do I need to make to be able to use the desktop icon again?

Not having used kdesu before, is it possible that kdesu is checking the existance of the file before running the app? If so perhaps the permissions of the file/directory/tree prevent kdesu from seeing the file

I don't think so. It always worked in the past (I don't check it all that oten, so I don't know exactly when it stopped working). All it does, really, is to launch the dialog requesting the root password. I'm trying desperately to remember just what I've read about its changing status. I know some people wanted to get rid of it, but it still works on my KDE4 systems.
