He was me. My error was I opened the shell process 
FOR READ WRITE instead of INPUT OUTPUT. 
I attache a little example so it will be clear howto.
The example is a form with a textbox. You type
the root password and confirm and you execute
cat /etc/sudoers as root (you'll see the output on Gambas
console). It's just an example, you can try any other root command.
Other solutions includes using gtksu or kdesu, but this way you
depend on desktop.

Ciao,

Stefano
