sudo asks for your password in the terminal.
you can use sudo to start CLI command/apps and GUI apps as root.
gksu asks for your password in a GUI window and is best for starting GUI applications as root.
so gksu is best used in startup scripts for GUI applications.

To use sudo without having it prompt for password, edit yout /etc/sudoers file using this command:
find where it says "root", and and add on the next line:
Substituting "username" for your username.

NO NO NO!
The solution above removes the use of password for you at all times - this means you are as wide open for abuse as a Windows user!
I thought of removing the text as it is
dangerous to use but it can easily be found on the net
NEVER EVER DO THIS!!
You could make a script that has this command for the specific task, much better
The odd error message is something that "goes on" in Bianca KDE for some reason - but never mind
