As long as that is the case I don't want to force installation of sudo-kde3.

You can set the root password via "sudo passwd" test it via "su".

I have done this meanwhile but I'm nevertheless uncertain if I should deinstall the sudo package for installation of sudo-kde3?! Is it a complete replacement of this system tool?

Hi Gerhard,
Yes. It is the identical source to sudo, but with /opt/kde3/bin and /opt/kde3/games added to the secure path. If you're a bit security paranoid (like me) and want to make sure I didn't insert any backdoors or the like, just download the source from the PPA and run a diff against the official sudo version--you should only see the secure path change.
