Alt+F2 -> kdesudo kate

Give that a try from your normal desktop session and see if it works.

I give you a tip! Make a link on your desktop using this for the command "kdesu dolphin", of course without the quotations! Now, here's the thing... If you don't choose a really good icon to go with it, and use a really cool name, it wont work! Now when you want to browse the file system as root, you can just open that link, it will ask for the root password, and presto!
