Without looking too much into details of the patch: what happens, if you are already root? Does that work as expected? I am asking, since we introduced regressions into Kate since using kauth to save data with elevated privileges: Kate disallows running as root. But if you really are root, Kate should just work, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387973 or also https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388041 .
