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. Frode M.
