Running kwrite with root privelige



Having done a bare-metal squeeze (KDE) reinstall after a major disk screw-up, things are just about working as they used to. One weird thing, however, which I fine seriously annoying:

I can call sudo dolphin, which works as expected, and gives me root privs. From this point, I used to be able to double-click on a text file to open it with root privs. I can no longer do so; the error message being "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kwrite'."

I can call "sudo kwrite <file>"; thus have a work-round, but does anyone know how to allow me to invoke it from dolphin?

Cheers, Tony
