timeout on server when iceweasel launched from a click on the above link.

Started icweasel, copy/pasted the link, and after quite a spell it 
worked. I assume pearsoncomputing.net is out on a slow copper circuit?

I read down to the bottom and tried ksysv from the menu, but it still 
needed the real root password. Which I had to enter twice, possibly a 
typu the first time as roots pw is about 25 chars & the fingers typing 
them are 81 yo and arthritic.  I have been keeping up to date, but I 
will go make sure tdesudo is installed, and get the version.

Which was not installed, but is now, and KsysV now runs from my password, 
so that seems to have solved /that/ problem.

Now, go check synaptic from the menu, without the terminal launched 
synaptic-pkexec wrapper.

And that also works from the menu, with my pw.  There may be other 
gotcha's, but those 2 at least are fixed now.

Looks like it might be all fixed, Michele, thanks a bunch.

But, and I haven't tested it, shouldn't tdesudo be made part of the 
standard TDE-Trinity install?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
