The problem (as reported anyway) isn't really the desktop; the problem is
simply that oem-config-prepare is looking for gksudo to gain root
privileges, when kdesudo is installed.

A more general and stable solution is the following:

   1. in oem-config-frontend, create an x-sudo entry using
   update-alternatives, ;
   2. in oem-config-gtk and oem-config-kde, link gksudo or kdesudo (as the
   case may be) to x-sudo; and
   3. change oem-config to point to x-sudo instead of trying to figure out
   which desktop is installed.

Come to think of it, an even better and general solution would for gksu and
kdesudo to maintain a link to x-sudo. I'll file a bug-report.
