Version: (using KDE 4.1.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When I try to change my user image, the following message appears: "Your administrator doesn't have permission to change your image" It happens when i start systemsettings from menu and from konsole, with "sudo". When I run with "sudo" the following error messages appear: Error: "/tmp/kde-rubens" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Error: "/tmp/ksocket-rubens" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. kdeinit4: Shutting down running client. kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher Error: "/tmp/ksocket-rubens" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

Here: (KDE 4.1.3 on ArchLinux x86_64): I can't reproduce this. I can setup my user account image, and it is correctly saved and then loaded (on SystemSettings reload). Can you still reproduce it with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta1 / 4.2svn?)
I cannot reproduce even using current trunk. It seems more a packaging problem.
No news from the bug reporter, closing. Please reopen this bug report if you experience the same bug again with a recent KDE (4.1.4 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2rc1 / 4.2svn / 4.3svn) . Thanks :)
I recently upgrade to karmic koala and I experiment exactly the same bug (KDE 4.3.2) Serge
