Issue
I noticed that the "start as root" dialog is not consequent. Reproducing the error example: bleachbit. Starting at as root a dialog-box appears where i type in my password and bleachbit starts as root.
Now starting gtkorphan, a terminal appears asking for my rootpassword and then it starts as root.

Yesterday i installed a webpage linkchecker (KLinkstatus). After installing this i noticed that gtkorphan no also has a normal dialog (so no more terminal login) except the dialog states "run as root KDE.su" and has a typical KDE look to it.

Steps to reproduce

Install bleachbit and gtkorphan.
Start bleachbit "as root" and observe the dialog.
Start gtkorphan and observe the terminal (should be a dialog)
NOW install Klinkstatus
Start gtkorphan and observe the dialog.

Tryed this as several systems to make sure it is reproducable

Expected behaviour

Consistant dialog when starting a programm as root.
