IMHO, this is not a "NFS permission problem", because having root_squash is desirable behaviour and not a problem. Secondly users may not have control over the NFS server (such as here at work), so root_squash will always be in effect, and kdesudo should work in such an environment anyway.
Anyway, now we know what's going wrong: kdesudo must work in an environment where the user's home directory is not writable by root (but currently it doesn't).
