Thanks, I was advised, tried and it worked, kdesudo kate, but I still don't 
understand the error.  I have seen this before and no one ever has explained 
the comment uid 1000 instead of uid 0.  I believe I am user ID 1000, but I 
don't understand how User ID 0 comes into the picture.  Will you explain this 
a bit?  Thanks!  When I happens again, I would like to understand the comment.
