Foisting the sudo gimick on an enormous collection of otherwise
working software without any thought as to the compatibility
issues was lame.  Newbies who might succeed in administering
their systems through a root GUI will fail when forced to
accomplish the same tasks through "sudo vi".

Hopefully Kubuntu can take the lead and switch to a sane
installation for Dapper, or at least make the sudo gimick
optional.
