Hi Lisi,

I'm not on a Debian setup right now, but depending of the distro, one of the following command should work in Konsole:
On PCLinuxOS (if I remember well it works this way on Deb too):
su
(type your password)
(type the name of the app you want to launch as root)
exit (to quit super-user mode)
On Ubuntu:
sudo ((type the name of the app you want to launch)
(type your password)

It is not the same command on every distro, but it is most of the time combinations of su and sudo.

Anyway you should be able to find easily a package with a name similar to tdesu or tdesudo in Synaptic (my preferred one) or any package manager app. Or sometimes the name of the app has changed to trinity-(the name of the app).

Hope it helps!
