By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2013-11-07 12:22:09 CST 
I tested this in 3.5.10, 3.5.13.0, pre R14, and KDE4. The coded behavior is to use 'su' rather than 'su -'.

As this has been the standard behavior going back to KDE 3.5 and persists today as standard with KDE4, I presume this is accepted and expected behavior. That said, I think tdesu should default to using 'su -'.

Rather than force anything on anybody, one approach is to add a new tdesu option in tdebase/tdesu/tdesu/tdesu.cpp. Something like:

{ "login", I18N_NOOP("Create an environment as the user would expect when logging in directly."), 0 },

Part of this bug report likely can be resolved by resolving bug 853. That work would not resolve problems other apps such kate/kwrite.
