--- Comment #9 from Martin Gräßlin <mgraess...@kde.org> ---
Please note that running an application as root on X11 means that your system
is potentially instantly owned. I wrote a test case for such a situation
recently, more information at
https://marc.info/?l=kfm-devel&m=145192452218315&w=2
You can be certain that also partitionmanager can be exploited that way. Please
disallow root access and switch to polkit ASAP. This is not a wishlish, this is
in fact a severe security vulnerability.
