ok, you have now given a better description of your problems than you
did in your original message. 

I can tell that sudo is perfectly integrated in ubuntu (the standard
one, the one using gnome), so if you're experiencing problems with the
kde flavour, it's probably more due a bug report than a rant :-)
kubuntu is young and probably not so well tested, so far, as the gnome
counterpart.
