On Debian I must edit the menu to run "tdesu synaptic". There is a "tdesudo-trinity" showing in synaptic, so I would guess "tdesudo synaptic" should do the trick. Can't see what sudo brings over su however, as anyone getting your sudo password just has to sudo passwd root to create a root password.
