There is a kdesu bug in TDE for Debian (probably because it was built 
from Ubuntu sources; Ubuntu always uses sudo.). There is a workaround (I 
posted this before but it was some time back) which works consistently 
here. I don't use sudo at all.

1.	apt-get purge kdesudo-trinity

2.	Create a file ~/.trinity/share/config/kdesurc with this text:

[super-user-command]
super-user-command=su

3	You will need to edit the menus for all Trinity root apps else 
dcopserver will crash. In the "command" box put:

kdesu trinity_app --nonewdcop

And uncheck "Run as different user"


 From then on you should be able to use normal kdesu (or gksu), I think 
I got that right. Let me know if you have any problems after, I might 
have the answer
