Make sure you're a member of the wheel group. Many distributions are set up 
such that you need to be there in order to SU to root. Note that just making 
the change and trying KDESU again isn't enough - I always had to log out of 
KDE and then back in, in order for it to see the change. Not sure why, but see 
if it helps.
