Synaptic is not something you start 5 times in 5 minutes so I don't see how it
can greatly benefit from the root password being cached. The same would apply
for the firewall interface. Do you reconfigure the firewall so often?
I mean exactly the other way round.
If I started synaptic 5 times in a session, kdesu would not ask me for the password (if I had checked "keep password").
But, regarding the frequent situation: first launch the firewall, then synaptic, and then a Konsole as root, I have to enter the password three times in a minute :-)
That is why I find this behaviour illogical: within the same application, the password is chached, but if you run another application, you have to reintroduce the password.
