Bug Description

Binary package hint: kate-kde4

When I start kate with sudo for viewing or editing system text files, one window with the following message appears: "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation".

Then, when clicking on the "Okay" of such window, Kubuntu brings me to the initial login screen.

Hardware: Laptop HP, AMD Turionx2Ultra ZM80, 2Gb/160Gb.
Software: Kubuntu 9.04 (i386), with KDE 4.2.4.
Kate version: 3.2.4.
