KDE Crashes Whenever I Edit A Text File with Sudo

I am using 64-bit Karmic.
Since my latest apt-get dist-upgrade I get this, when I log into KDE.
So it completely locks me out of KDE.
I deleted my KDE config. No change
I un-installed the complete desktop environment and re-installed it. Still no
change.
Gnome still works fine, so I am using

Try using pico (or nano), it runs in the terminal but it behaves like
you'd expect a text editor to actually behave ;)

Will they be backporting the fix to 9.04? I have other issues that
prevent me from upgrading to 9.10 on my laptop. The only time I use
sudo is if I'm working with a file in a restricted folder (/etc or
somewhere like that). If I'm not supposed to do this, then please
explain how to edit a file
Is this still a problem in Kubuntu 9.10?

That's exactly the point!
By the way, some of the GUI applications are really UGLY in sudo/kdesudo
mode- and this problem persists since I was using Kubuntu 7.04!
Look at GParted for example...
So separating GUI stuff and real root access parts would be the perfect
solution.
For our German
IMO the whole approach is wrong.
A programshould NEVER run as root, wether with sudo, su, kdesudo or whatever.
QT/GTK code is not needed to run as root, and the much better approach in
general would be to tightly bind to policykit and letting just the things go
as root that need to. The GUI

Hello again,
I think it's not a regression to know that sudo was always messing up with
GUI-stuff.
But it's a regression because many Wiki and Forum entries are using the sudo
gedit or sudo kate examples
Some peolpe in the Ubuntu/Linux World became used to it - including me.
But we should

I researched the underlying process a little to prevent loossing all data when

Since yesterday, I'm having the same problem in 4.2.3, except that I
don't sudo/kdesu anything. The xmessage dialog just pops up after a
seemingly random time - supposedly triggered by something I do in a
program, since it didn't appear when KDE was running on its own over
night, but I haven't
Technically it is indeed true that one should use kdesudo, but one can
use sudo, that also worked until 4.2.3, so technically it is a
regression and in fact, it really is one. So the regression outweighs
the you-should-use-kdesudo-invalididation since the former is real and
technical and the
Actually, they probably would invalidate it since X is crashing... Or
they'd close it worksforme since they probably wouldn't be able to
reproduce this in trunk.

This has nothing to do with KDE, it's to do with sudo and how it works.
kdesudo makes sure it sets up the correct environment for running GUI
applications. If it worked for you in 4.2.2 then that is just a
coincidence and not by design.

sudo has had a long history of causing all sorts of problems when
running GUI apps with it. (Bug 53845, bug 234982, bug 234982, and bug
112781 to name a few) I've even been bitten by a permissions bug caused
by running stuff with sudo. Running graphical applications with sudo has

Yes, kdesudo works fine, however this bug is in regards to plain old
sudo, which I prefer to use.

You aren't supposed to use sudo to launch GUI applications, as there is
a risk that it will mess things up.

I don't understand, whether you're supposed to do something or not
doesn't matter as Linux is about choice. Besides, this is something that
has always worked fine for Kubuntu's entire existence and is only broken
now, so why is it invalid?
Since this was broken as of KDE 4.2.3, this is a
