Thanks for the pointer - I actually found the problem and fixed it without reinstall: /etc/sudoers had some linebreaks in the middle of comments and such, which made the file syntactically illegal.

Found the message :-
I force uninstalled sudo, deleted all trace
of sudoers and then reinstalled.
Only problem I have now is although kdesu works it gives a sorry panel
saying "KDEInit could not launch 'kdesu'", so it's obviously trying to
launch two instances.
