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.

I think you use your own password (and your user has to be in
/etc/sudoers). 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.
