Moved KPortage to System. I just was too lazy in the past to do it ;)
Concerning kdesu, we decided to not run KPortage with kdesu by default, because 
we didn't want to have a dependency to kdebase. There are other possibilities 
to become root so it should not be forced to use kdesu.

Summary:  kportage menu entry is in wrong category and should use kdesu

Original Submission:  KPortage should not be placed in the KDE "Applications" 
group. I think the "System" group makes much more sense, since that is where 
other system configuration tools are stored, such as KPackage.

Also, when you run click the KPackage menu item, it is not run as root, so the 
menu item is useless for normal users. (I have no reason to run KPackage unless 
I am root.) The user has to change the menu entry manually and prepend "kdesu" 
to the command so the menu item is useful. The user should not have to make 
this, not using change; "kdesu" should be prepended to the kportage command in 
the menu by default.
