Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dolphin

I am on Kubuntu "Hardy Heron" (All the latest updates applied).

Below is the issue faced:

1. Open Dolphin as a root user from the command line "sudo dolphin"
2. Update dolphin bookmarks and then close dolphin
3. Open dolphin as a normal user
4. Closing dolphin now as a normal user gives the error message "Unable to save 
bookmarks" in the path to bookmarks.xml

The issue is when dolphin is opened as sudo the owner of the
bookmarks.xml is changed to root and then when the normal user opens
dolphin and closes it, its trying to update the bookmarks.xml and it
fails since it doesn't have the required permissions.

The solution to the problem is changing the owner of  the bookmarks.xml
file to the user.
