I think this is not a duplicate of bug 53845. A regular KDE application needs to set up a complex runtime environment. For instance in bug 53845 we see that a simple text editor needs to start kdeinit, kded, knotify, kio_uiserver and maybe others. All these expect a fully set up environment and likely write state information in ~/.kde thus forcing its creation at some point. However kde-config does not fork and exec any of these servers. Also a look at an strace shows no justification for creating ~/.kde. So it should be possible to fix kde-config to not create ~/.kde completely independently from whether 'sudo kate' can be made to behave sensibly or not. -- kde-config creates $HOME/.kde https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
