Ok, I think I understand 'my error'. Here is my hypothesis:

Once you give your password, it is recalled somewhere for some
time. And it seems not to be in kdesud like man kdesu suggest
(saying that kdesu -s kill kdesud, so forgetting all passwords).

So by using adept-notifier, I had given my password, and from there,
the window on kdesu whoami is still shown, but whatever you type
in for the password, is not tested but used the magical somewhere
memory.

Still, I expect kdesu should not to ask  the password,
when it is recalled, that would be less confusing.
