I just tried some more applications. All "custom" applications for Kali appear to be working fine. The PIM interface did load. I don't use it under root so it wasn't fully configured but did properly go into the set up. The only applications I have found that don't work is Dolphin, Kate and Kwrite. From the command line these all fail with the can't run under root error. From the desktop when the icon is clicked they just fail no errors. This is only happening when logged in the desktop as root. When I am in a normal user account Kate runs and when saving a system file I get a proper password prompt. This also happens when copying a file to a system directory. Please don't get me wrong guys this is the "right way" for normal users the root account locked out and a password protected way to change files from a user account. I just really miss Kate for me it is the finest text editor ever made. Thanks for your all's help getting this fixed up -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
