Installed Fedora Workstation from livecd, then "sudo dnf install @kde-desktop" When I try to launch kde partitionmanager from KDE Application Launcher, the icon, it prompts for root/user password, I enter it correctly but fails every time. Running it from shell with "sudo partitionmanager" works.

Run as root - KDE su The action you requested needs root privileges. Please enter root's password below or click ignore to continue with your current privileges. Permission denied. Possibly incorrect password, please try again. On some systems, you need to be in a special group (often: wheel) to use this program. Command: KDE_FULL_SESSION=true XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus /usr/bin/partitionmanager --dontsu
Was solved with this command: kwriteconfig5 --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command sudo Source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/sudo#kdesu
Installed from livecd fedora workstation.
The way partitionmanager needs to be executed has always been problematic. Hopefully, the next version will use kauth and will get rid of 'su' or 'sudo' calls. I'll let this open as a reminder, but I'm not going to try to fix this, I'll just wait for the next version.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
