Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kate

I installed Hardy Kubuntu Beta (w/ KDE3). Immediately after
installation, I used "sudo kate" to edit some config file. Now, the the
~/.kde/share/apps/kate folder is owned by root instead of me. If I run
kate normally, I can't save config changes (b/c it doesn't have
permission to access its own folder), and there is no indication of why
it doesn't work--(it took me some time to figure it out). If kate is
going to put its configuration in my home folder, then it should be
owned by me. I tried this on another machine and it repro'ed there too.
(An obvious workaround is to do "sudo chown me:me
~/.kde/share/apps/kate", but new users won't know to do that.)
