Maybe this helps: FAQ: Root Password
- What is Root
- Ubuntu Official Policy
- sudo, kdesu, kdesudo, gksu, gksudo
- Passwordless sudo for the script
- Using sudo to become root
- Enabling root password
- Root Revival
- Enabling Graphical Root login
For kubuntu, you use sudo from the command-line to run non-graphical programs with admin permissions
To start graphical applications (from the command-line) with admin privileges, you use the kdesudo command. That is what causes the password box to open, like when you open Adept from the kmenu for example
kdesudo is a newer variant, if you will, of kdesu and is what kubuntu (and others I think) use now. If you find old references out there in wikis or web searches, just use the kdesudo command in place of kdesu
