No tdesu. But tdesudo and gksu are both there. So I installed gksu. But it didn't work. I.e., <gksu kwrite. in the launcher produced a request for the root password - but entering the root password had no effect. Nothing at all happened, and a check with ps showed that nothing had been launched. I tried all three of the programs I normally want to use this way, and nada. :-( So I purged gksu. 17 packets installed, one was removed. So now |I have 16 orphaned packages to remove. :-( Wne I have looked it up. Lisi
