well, I looked in KSysguard, and I found mention of kdesu, not kdesudo.
So would it be a good idea for me to set up a root password and try that
in the meantime?

Do you have kdesudo-trinity installed? If so, it is supposed to divert
tdesu and install a symlink from tdesu to tdesudo.
If you want to use tdesu, be aware that when it prompts for the "user
password" it is actually asking for root's password.

I used
the 'usermod' command to add sudo to the groups that belong to
user
marco. I checked with the command 'id' :
it shows user marco as part
of
the admin and sudo groups.
But when asked for my password by a kde application in a Kdesudo
window, I
still get bumped after 3 tries with the message
'Wrong password.
Exiting'.
Any clues?

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that perhaps
tdesu, not tdesudo, is executing. There was a problem with an incorrect
message string in tdesu where it was prompting for the user's password
but
actually expected the root password; this has been fixed in GIT but has
not been repaired in 3.5.13 AFAIK.
