this has nothing to do with krunner (the Run Command dialog =) actually; if 
the dialog that pops up is the KDE one, it should automatically detect if you 
are on a machine that uses sudo instead of su. if it doesn't, you can configure 
that by putting this in the kdeglobals config file:

[super-user-command]
super-user-command=sudo

if it isn't using the kde facility (e.g. it's a non-kde app with it's own home 
brew thing) then i can't help you =)
