kdesu is no longer directly accessible in Kubuntu Intrepid/KDE 4.
Actually I think installing kdesudo would override kdesu in any case.
Please check that usr/bin/kdesu is a symlink to /usr/bin/kdesudo, if not
make it one.
That should fix this issue.
** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu)
** Attachment added: strace of kdesu hanging

this kdesudo hangs just like kdesu.
If you kill kdesud, kdesudo starts working again. kdesu still keeps hanging.

Actually, it depends if one gives some parameters to kdesu or kdesudo.
Running just kdesu hangs, but e.g. running kdesu ls works.
