hi alan, 

i looked at that file and i found that are two references to the command i 
wanted to alter to read 'kdesu' before it, why and how i don't know but after 
all my faffing about with kmenuefit and menudrake only the first of these was 
showing a change, i edited the second reference to the command i wanted 
changing in a text editor and viola!

i still had to actually reboot though, 'menu-updates' by itself wasn't enough

to explain i have enclosed the last line of my ~/.menu/adding_by_menudrake to 
illustrate for any one else that this info might help, the following is all 
one line:

?package(kdeadmin): needs="x11" icon="kpackage.png" 
section="Configuration/Packaging/" title="Package Manager" 
longtitle="kpackage RPM and DEB manager" command="kdesu kpackage     %u" 
charset="ISO-8859-1" kde_filename="kpackage" 
kde_mimetype="application/x-rpm;application/x-debian-package;" 
kde_opt="\\nDocPath=kpackage/index.html 
\\nTerminal=0\\nTerminalOptions=\\nPath=\\nMapNotify=true\\nInitialPreference=5" 
kde_command="kdesu kpackage -caption \"%c\" %i %m %u"

note the two references to 'kdesu kpackage'? that is all i have been trying 
to do, make kpackage prompt for password rather than open a console or fiddle 
with alt-f2

crossing fingers the effect stays! :-)
