kdesu is part of the
kdebase3 port, which is required for any and all KDE applications to work. Hence, if you are using KDE, you have kdesu installed.
To use it, from the K menu (start menu), select
Run, then type
kdesu <nameofapp>. That will pop up a dialog asking for the root password. If you enter it correctly, then <nameofapp> will run as root.
Alternatively, you can create an icon on your desktop, point it at the app you want to run, and then put
kdesu in front of the app name in the Execute line.
