I'm old school - I do this from a command line, with su (not sudo). Yes, I
know kubuntu is designed and geared toward not using su. But thanks to the
freedom afforded me by Linux to do things My Way(c), I like having a root
account with a password, using su, and using aptitude rather than adept
(altho sometimes I use it). GUI package managers confuse me more than
command-line ones, but that's probably just me ...

Well, *my* favorite is joe, in WordStar 2000 mode, but that's just me ...

I'd agree, use kdesu and kedit, that is probably quickest for most folks.
