I figured out that gnomesu was the alternative for kdesu
.
That's where the problem seems to be:
This is the output when typing it in the terminal:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
(gnome-terminal:31403): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
me@here:~>
seems like an X restiction.
Some googling gave me the answer :

i types xhost + as a normal user, the terminal responding with:
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host .
Now, when typing gnomesu , a terminal comes up and the links work again.
Isn't this a security issue?
Is there a way to allow my logged in user to this?
Thanks for your help!
