Description:
Running `kdesu some-command` will output this message:

kdesu(12861) startApp: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.

And according to this, http://kde.6490.n7.nabble.com/KDESU-again-td1394699.html a SGID to nobody is fine. kdesu's code doesn't check against any specific user, just that the file is indeed sgid.

Found on kdebase-runtime 4.10.5-1

I propose adding

chown root:nobody /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesud
chmod g+s /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesud

To the PKGBUILD.
