Version: 2.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Compiler: gcc 4.0.3-1 OS: Linux Below is the error msg I recieve when using Kate and other KDE apps as sudo in Kubuntu 6.0.6 (Dapper Drake). The apps open and function normally but they all present this error msg.: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169 Major opcode: 147 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169 Major opcode: 147 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified kdeinit: Can't connect to the X Server. kdeinit: Might not terminate at end of session.

This is a Kubuntu issue, please report to launchpad.net. If the application starts then the errors are harmless enough, although the Xlib ones are a bit of a mystery.
