Description:
I made a full update of my system,

and I notice that kdesu doesn't work,

for example I type:
kdesu kate

a window asking my password is diplayed, I type my passwork, I click "ok" but there is no "kate", nothing,

and there is no error message in logs ( dmesg ) and no error message in console



Additional info:
* package version(s) kdesu 5.33.0-1 (kf5)

Steps to reproduce:
- type in a console "kdesu kate"
- a window asking your password will be displayed
- type your password
- click ok
- you will see no GUI program
