If it makes any difference, the issue does not seem to exist for me using KDE 4.2.85 (KDE 4.3 beta 1). I do remember having a ksmserver problem randomly appear (though I never ran sudo to cause it.. dunno why it happended for me), and it doesn't anymore.
I tested running sudo with kate, as in this bug and it works. Now, not saying this is a fluke, or if there was a bug fix in kde or even if it will continue to work. Nor am I suggesting you upgrade to the beta, as its not ready for general consumption :) -- KDE Crashes Whenever I Edit A Text File with Sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
