I'm fed up of having to be root to read log files when troubleshooting.
I'd like to add a sudo line that gives me read-only rights to /var/log/ -

Not really a KDE issue, but facl should work. $user will be your userid.
setfacl -R -m u:$user:r /var/log/
This one will give you access to newly created logs files without having
to run the above again.
setfacl -d -R -m u:$user:r /var/log/
Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work - kwrite still shows an empty
file even though I can see the size of it indicating that it is quite big.

Which file in /var/log/ ?
What does getfacl /var/log/<file> show?
Does this work from a prompt?
tail /var/log/<file>
