Make drkonqui use tdesu when generating backtraces
This allows most Linux installations to gather backtraces with drkonqui If a custom multiuser system does not allow sudo access for a user or users, backtraces will not be available for those users. However, this change is due to Linux distributions attempting to lock down a security hole, so drkonqui was broken for non-root users before this commit anyway. Multiuser system administrators should collect and submit the backtraces anyway.
