Escaped quoting problem with kdesudo

Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdesudo

On the latest Hardy Heron 'kdesudo' package (2.1-0ubuntu1)

Using escaped quotes (\") with kdesudo doesn't work and results in a 'command not found' message. This breaks kdesu compatibility in scripts that use escaped quotes. (Because kdesudo uses single ticks (') to encapsulate command arguments?)

For example:
kdesu \"konqueror\" --> works (using the old kdesu.distrib)

kdesudo \"konqueror\" --> doesn't work

Please ask if you need more information, and thanks for your time.
