  Not entirely... KDE uses kdesu or kdesudo (depending on distribution), and 
even Kubuntu uses a Qt/KDE based dialog, not a gtk based one :) Some 
distributions also use a more granular system of permissions called 
kapabilities[1], developed for Ark Linux, which gives a specific user rights 
to use very specific tools. This particular system rubs me very much the 
right way.
