Install the IDE setuid.
That would be an extremely bad idea with the current stability record
of the IDE.
Not to mention that it allows you to open and overwrite any arbitrary file.
Looking at that kernel patch, I see that it requires not uid=0, but
rather certain caller's capability present.
I don't have deep knowledge of the subject, but 'capability' sounds like
'privilege' (in Windows terms) for me. If it is so, then probably there
is a way to solve the problem by assigning the required capability to
IDE user(s) or process.
