Interesting question.. Try one of the ways I put it here. Just as an experiment.. The first way uses $(this) format, an the second uses `backticks`.
Also note that I put the full path to the sed command, just in case.
Who knows......
It may work, or it might be something peculiar to kdesu (which I would not be too surprised at)
