Ok, getting somewhere now but still some odd

kdesudo-trinity and disabled my user from /etc/sudoers.
~/trinity/share/config/kdesurc reads:

I have that.
[super-user-command]
super-user-command=su
I know what that is.
Now, if I do, e.g. <kdesu kwrite> in konsole:
dzz@exelinux:~$ kdesu kwrite

It opens but then I can't use kicker or the menu to open anything
else, dcop server crashes:
"KLauncher could not be reached via DCOP"
If I then issue (as user) <kdeinit> everything then behaves normally
for the rest of the session! The error reappears on next login though.
This is now consistent over numerous reboots/relogins and for a second
user account also
Similar behaviour with sux
An annoyance but not a showstopper so far.
@Jimmy:
<help:/kdesu/using-kdesu.html> (in a konq window) might have a clue to
the password retention issue, seems a kde thing (probably
configurable)
Note my kdesurc
[Passwords]
Keep=false
David, just so you know, I don't know what's going on, maybe if you get
it figure out you can do a step-by-step rundown on the changes you made
and the expected behavior !?! After more than 8 years using Debian I'm
still just a point-n-click user. :-P
Thanks,
