kdesudo, gksudo it's just frontends for "sudo". as far as i know only
difference between gksudo and sudo is that gksudo uses your(user's)
configuration and not root's. so create your own sudo frontend:
1. in /usr/bin create file "xfce-sudo" with content:
#!/bin/bash
pass=$(zenity --entry --text="Enter your pass");
echo $pass | sudo -S env HOME=$HOME $@

2. chmod a+x /usr/bin/xfce-sudo
3. now you have own frontend, usage:
xfce-sudo command

P.S. gksudo not works in xfce?
