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).
