No, but we can't go around putting workarounds to every file write of
any application that can be run with sudo. It's not Dolphin's job to
protect users from opening it with sudo rather than kdesudo any more
than it's a terminal emulator's job to not let people "rm -rf /" even
though they shouldn't
Are you thinking that the permissions of the file "bookmarks.xml" change
when Dolphin starts up, regardless of whether Dolphin writes to this
file?
Or are you thinking that if Dolphin is run with sudo, then its
impossible for Dolphin to create a file which has permissions set so
that everyone can
Launching dolphin with sudo will overwrite these permissions.

Jonathan, why did you say "There isn't anything that can be done about
that"? Surely all that needs to be done is that "bookmarks.xml" needs
to be given permissions so that everyone can read and write to it. That
can be done.

The permissions get messed up if you run the application with sudo.
There isn't anything that can be done about that.

The workaround described by Dori works. But it would still be good if
the d3lphin developers can fix this bug. So I changed this from
"invalid" to "confirmed". I think fixing this bug is a simple matter of
creating the "bookmarks.xml" file with different permissions.

GUI apps should never be run with sudo, for it will cause permissions problems
such as this.
To run GUI applications with admin privileges, use kdesudo. (e.g. kdesudo
dolphin) kdesudo is designed to prevent this sort of permissions problem from
occurring.

Flow:
1. run "sudo d3lphin"
2. close it
3. run d3lphin
4. close it
5. you get /home//.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml error.
Cause:
Every time you close d3lphin a new

When you run as root, the d3lp

This is a systematic error when using dolphin. Changing back the
owner/group only works till the next time a folder is opened as ROOT. I
guess that dolphin writes to and saves bookmarks.xml on every exit
event, so the closing the folder opened as root will change the
owner/group every time.

I'm still getting this error. I have tried about three or four things.
I even logged in as root and changed the permissions for the file to my
username and my name as the group.
When logging out as root and back in as me, the error still happens even though
I have user and group ownership.
