Description Hans de Vries 2009-12-08 12:56:12 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Trough "Kickoff Application Launcher" system->file manager-> file manager-super user mode root password Dolphin opens in SU mode. When trying to open (example) fstab with kwrite Dolphin come back with a warning window saying (header) sorry Dolphin, (text) KDEinit could not launch '/usr/bin/kwrite'

This bug is highly annoying if you want to chance anything within the system.

Work around: copy file to the user space, modify and copy back.
