Thanks for all the help with this. I am so used to sudo that I decided to add myself to the sudo group as suggested. To do this I used su in a terminal to become root and ran adduser neilwin sudo.

Sudo now works in a terminal, and yes it does want my normal password and not the one I set up for root. However gksu and gksudo are not recognised. I also expected to be able to start mousepad as root using alt-F2 but this did not work. Strange.
Anyway, thanks again, and I will now have a good look at Debian Xfce. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
