compiz - Jul 2008 - Yast->Software Mgmt forced to full screen w/out Decorations - [Work Around]

List,

	For any of you using openSuSE and frustrated by Yast -> Software Management 
being forced to full-screen without any window decorations, an unlikely 
work-around has been discovered. Dev's, I don't know if this is compiz
or KDE,
but something is wrong.

	The work-around was discovered by accident while attempting to correct a sudo 
problem where sudo would prompt for the root password despite /etc/sudoers 
being configured correctly and the user being a member of the wheel group. The 
fix completely corrected the sw mgmt - fullscreen issue. I have no idea why, 
but it does look like some code is stepping on toes somewhere.

	Bonus - sudo works properly as well.

I guess posting the fix would be helpful (all on one line):

kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command 
sudo
