dave at dave-comp:~$ kdesudo
bash: kdesudo: command not found
dave at dave-comp:~$ kdesu
kdesu: No command specified.
kdesu: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.
dave at dave-comp:~$ kdesu gnome-terminal
dave at dave-comp:~$

I guess its kdesu :)

gnome-terminal is not installed, this is a brand new copy of kubuntu, so I 
tried to install gnome-terminal ...

dave at dave-comp:~$ sudo -i
