I don't know how this happens. The same is for konsole and konsole-kde3. Might it be that with default Ubuntu Jaunty install those packages are installed by default? By deinstallation of kdesudo the two packages update-manager-kde and update-notifier-kde are deinstalled. Is there a replacement in KDE3? After deinstallation of kdesudo I changed the file edit-as-root.desktop to it's original state but now I have the same problem like before: "Command not found!" Thank you Gerhard
