Hello,

I am starting a GUI-application as another user with kdesu in my python
script:

import shlex, subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split("kdesu -u test program"))

How can I aquire the PID of the program which kdesu starts?
p.pid just returns the PID of kdesu, but I need the PID of the
child process from kdesu.

My System: openSUSE 11.4 64-Bit, Python 2.7.

Regards
Pedro Santos
