@Anthony: I tested the following:

1. kdesudo -s > to clear the password cache (just to be sure)
2. kdesu adept_installer > asks for password > adept_installer is started  as 
"root" > works indeed
3. kdesudo -s
4. kdesu dolphin > asks for password > dolphin is started, but as user 
"jeroen", not as "root"
5. kdesudo -s
6. kdesu kwrite >  same as 4
7. kdesudo -s
8. kdesu xterm >  asks for password > xterm  is started  as "root"
9. kdesudo -s
10. kdesu openoffice > same as 4

etc etc etc

The applications that did NOT work:
dolphin
konqueror
kwrite
kedit
marble
openoffice
firefox

Other kind of errors:
ktorrent: ERROR: Communication problem with ktorrent, it probably crashed.
ark: ERROR: Communication problem with ark, it probably crashed.

The applications that DID work:
adept_installer
xterm
pan
konsole
firestarter
amule
gimp

I also saw that the error "Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-jeroen" is owned by
uid 1000 instead of uid 0." is happening with the applications that
worked and didn't worked.
