--- Comment #25 from Nate Graham <pointedst...@zoho.com> --- Nobody is dumbing anything down. Basic security involves running with the lowest permissions possible. That's why you selectively use sudo when you need to edit something as root, rather than using into the root account 100% of the time. This is simply a further extension of the principle: run with normal permissions until the software requests an action demanding elevated permissions, and only then do we ask for those permissions. If some part of the new system doesn't work properly, that's a bug, and we should--and will--fix it. But note that this particular bug report concerns KIO, not Kate. Anyone who's having an issue with Kate should file a new bug against the Kate product. And FWIW, Kate's PolKit support has been working just fine for me. You can open a root-owned file and then only when you save it are you prompted for credentials. Works like a charm, no "dumbing down" involved. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
