KDE(kdm to be more exact) disables per default the ability to login as root,
thus the session is in 99,99% an user and not admin/root. So the only thing
that might have happend is a user starting a console session with root
rights. An thus your virus need to hack the console session or rootkit. I
prefer playing with aliases more, for example putting in .bashrc 'sudo
apt-get update'='sudo <run malicios program> && apt-get update'.
I think everybody likes old school tricks.

Cheers
Orlin
