[Bug 216348] [NEW] privilege escalation doesn't work second time installing font via dolphin

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have Kubuntu Hardy Beta with KDE3

Repro steps:
1- open Dolphin
2- right-click on a font (.ttf) file that you haven't yet installed
3- click Actions->Install
4- choose to install for "system" (not "personal")
5- when prompted, enter root password
6- observe that the font installs properly
7- now right-click on another font (.ttf) file that you haven't yet installed
8- click Actions->Install
9- choose to install for "system" (not "personal")
10- observe that it does not prompt for the root password this time
11- It fails with the message "Could not access \"System\" folder"

There is a workaround. If you wait for several minutes until the
escalated privileges time out, then it will prompt for the root password
again, and you can install the second font.

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released
