kdesu with pam_usb does not work

Hello together,

i've changen my authentification for pam to pam_usb. This ist an key based authentification, that works as pam modul.
See http://www.pamusb.org
In a shell, everything works fine. But in kde i've always to type in the root password.
I've read, that the kdesu command just uses pam.
The following shows up, when i try to start ethereal in kde
ps -aux
user 32095 10.7 2.1 24124 11200 pts/3 S+ 14:44 0:00 kdesu ethereal
user 32099 0.0 1.1 15176 5756 ? S 14:44 0:00 /opt/kde3/bin/kdesud
root 32101 0.3 0.3 4884 1792 pts/5 Ss+ 14:44 0:00 /bin/su root -c /opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub -
root 32119 0.0 0.0 1332 288 pts/5 S+ 14:44 0:00 /opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub

then i tried following

/bin/su root -c /opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub -

woks just fine in a shell, but not when i paste it to "alt - F2"

pasted to "alt - F2" i saw for a moment following processroot
18060 0.5 0.2 3144 1048 ? S 09:59 0:00 /bin/su root -c /opt/kde3/bin/kdesu_stub -
but nothing happend
i tried following
/bin/su root -c "whoami > /tmp/test.txt" -
In a shell no prob, but in "alt - F2" nothing happend.

Any ideas?

thanks in advanced
