[Bug 585451] Re: kubuntu-kde4-desktop package creates .kde folder owned by root, not user

[Headless Platter]

The problem only occurs when I try to run kate as myself, not as root.
The first time I ran kate, I was still setting up my machine. I think
the first command I issued was "sudo kate /etc/ssh/sshd_config".

Since this was the first KDE app that I used, it makes sense that it
might create the ".kde" folder, and since I used sudo, I also see that
it might give root ownership of the folder. The part that seems buggy is
that it put the folder (owned by root) in my home folder instead of in
root's home folder, thus blocking me from being able to use KDE apps
thereafter.
