In that case, there must be something else wrong as well.

The kdesudo ubuntu2.2 did not work for me, programs could not connect to
the X server. If I recall correctly, issueing an "xhost +" would resolve
that.

Removing kdesudo and using kdesu instead worked for me.

Other people have reported that removing the option root_squash from the
NFS share made it work for them, but I am not root at the faculties main
file server, so I can't test that.
