I have not been able to be productive since the update to Fedora 26, as I
keep running into changes like this and like preventing kwrite from
running as root.
Try:
sudo sed -i -e 's/getuid/getpid/g' /usr/bin/kwrite
and it should come up as root again.
Running sed on an executable is unlikely to work:
$ file /usr/bin/kwrite
/usr/bin/kwrite: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=3c378cb60be1e2a76f98

Sure it does. kwrite.test being a copy of /usr/bin/kwrite
[boutilpj@localhost ~]$ strings kwrite.test |grep getuid
getuid
[boutilpj@localhost ~]$ sed -i "s/getuid/getpid/g" kwrite.test
[boutilpj@localhost ~]$ strings kwrite.test |grep getuid
[boutilpj@localhost ~]$ strings kwrite.test |grep getpid
getpid
Also, are you sure you mean 'getpid'?
