Bug Description
In Kubuntu 7.10 x86 it is possible to install Xfce and then log in with an Xfce session.
There, in Xfce, if one right-clicks the mouse over the desktop, a pulldown menu appears in which System is a submenu and the item Adept Manager appears.
If Adept Manager is run then, the following error appears:
/home/{
A work-around is to run adept_manager from the shell using sudo.
Technically, this is also a security vulnerability because it interferes with updates and package management.

To post a comment you must log in.
In the KDE menu, a box is checked on Adept's entry for "run as different user". This is so that it prompts you for your sudo password. So running adept using sudo isn't "a workaround", it's the normal way of things. Is there a setting for this in the xfce menu editor? If not, you should be able to change the command that executes to "sudo adept-manage" and have it work properly.
I'm not sure if this is an adept bug or an xfce one.
