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).
No tdesu. But tdesudo and gksu are both there. So I installed gksu.
But it didn't work. I.e., <gksu kwrite. in the launcher produced a request for the root password - but entering the root password had no effect.
I think you use your own password (and your user has to be in /etc/sudoers).
That is supposed to be gksudo - or was last time I was reduced to using it. But that would certainly explain it. Anyhow, it is resolved. I can use tdesu now (root). tdesudo also exists, of course, but that would mean setting up sudo and sudoers.
Thanks for the reply.
