Will they be backporting the fix to 9.04? I have other issues that prevent me from upgrading to 9.10 on my laptop. The only time I use sudo is if I'm working with a file in a restricted folder (/etc or somewhere like that). If I'm not supposed to do this, then please explain how to edit a file in a restricted folder, when 1) I cannot log in as root (because Kubuntu/Ubuntu has the "root" account locked by default) and 2) I am not supposed to use sudo or kdesudo to open the editing file.

Personally, I hate VIM and EMACS because I've never really learned how to use them properly. It's much easier to open the file in Kate or KWrite and edit it there.

I'm running KDE 4.2.4 on Kubuntu 9.04. The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2194 laptop with 1.5 G of RAM.

Thanks, and have a great day:)
Patrick.
