Never had this problem. If you start a program from CLI, then I would 
use sudo (either switch to root with "sudo -s" or use sudo directly.
If you start from menu, the KDE or GNOME install procedure put in the 
right sudo (gksu or kdesu).

Could you explain how you would come to use the wrong one?

I am not sure I agree, as I have been using gnome and kde beside each 
other for a long, without the problems described above.
