There is no difference between gksudo and sudo, one just happens to run on
the command line (sudo) and the other is a gui app (gksudo). This is to
enable you to have menu items (such as System --> Administration --> *)
which require root level privs, but without popping up a terminal to enter
your password.

I believe there is a KDE equiv, yes, but I dont run KDE so don't know what
it is.
