kcontrol administrator mode problem

Hi all,
after upgrading my system, I found that control center doesn't function as before. When I try to enter in administrator mode, to change some setting (es kdmthememanager) it asks root pw, but login process doesn't finish. running kcontrol from terminal I obtain fatal error:
QLayout "unnamed" added to QVBox "m_body", which already has a layout
X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8
  Major opcode:  6
  Minor opcode:  0

and

kcontrol: Fatal IO error: client killed

browsing internet I found the same problem here: http://linuxagora.com/vbforum/showthread.php?p=4538, but no proposal to solve...!

Is it a true bug?

What to do?

Should it depends on kdemod? on my classic kde upgraded yesterday, no problem!

Re: kcontrol administrator mode problem

confirmed here also on KDEmod

If you need to change something via admin mode in there.. you can

kdesu kcontrol

at the terminal for now..

Filed a bug report at KDEmod
