Patch attached for Kubuntu.

Could someone add code for Ubuntu? The problem is that in su_gnome(), amdxdg-su looks for gnomesu and xsu, but these don't exist. It looks simple enough to look for gksudo instead/as well. HOWEVER detectDE() inspects $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID, the value of which is "this-is-deprecated". Clearly a better fix would change detectDE() as well to use some other way of detecting if it's running under GNOME.
