How do you login, with kdm or startx from a terminal? What are the
contents of your .xsession file?

What happens when you try the command string- kdesu kate
/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin

If that didn't work try the command xhost +localhost then the command
string to start kate as su.

Perhaps you don't have sudo installed. I thought sudo came with a default
install but I could be wrong about that.

I log into KDE automatically when I start the pc.

I don't have a .xsession file (only .xsession-errors )

asterisk:/home/henkoegema# find / -name ".xsess*"
/home/henkoegema/.xsession-errors
/root/.xsession-errors
asterisk:/home/henkoegema#

Peculiar... I have just tested 'sux' at 3 different debian distributions
running stable (etch), testing (lenny) and unstable (sid). And it worked
using 'kate' at all of my test distributions.

And given your description it sounds like you are trying to fail... I
said "Try 'sux' from command line instead of 'su'", and as far as I can
decrypt from your output, you have tried to use 'sux' within 'su' (not
instead of).

Lets take it simple step by step:
1) Start a new konsole (from your username)
2) Write: 'sux -' and press enter
3) Write: 'kate' and press enter

Perhaps I should explain how I came to that conclusion: In your output
from 'sux' it is creating a /root/.Xauthority file. 'sux' should instead
create a /home/your_username/.Xauthority in your home-directory when it
is executed correctly...

kdesu kate /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin

[code]
xhost +localhost
