Hello Hello,
I realize this is bad form, but regardless it works. I have my user setup as
part of the wheel group, so sudo automatically elevates me when I use it. I
have several files that I will access and make changes to with my root user,
and occassionaly I use kwrite as my user running under sudo to access those
files as well.
I decided to create a shortcut on my desktop, so I clicked the kmenu, typed in
kwrite and then right clicked it and select 'add to panel'. It did so, then I
edited the icon settings and changed it to execute 'sudo kwrite'
It all works well, but when I tried to open kwrite, NOT from my panel shortcut
which opens sudo kwrite, but from the kmenu I found it had edited my short
cuts globally and it always opens kwrite in sudo mode...
Is this to be expected, or is this a bug as the system is not creating a "new"
shortcut but rather a pointer to the real one????
Any thoughts, besides how stupid I may be for doing it this way...;-)
Nathan
