Who decided that I should not be able to use a GUI editor on the

For the first time since Fedora first became available I am truly sorry I updated to the
current release. Even the switch to KDE4 was not such a problem. At least a few
developers didn't decide for me how to manage my systems.
I haven't heard anything about this, why is it such a secret? How can I fix this as
I am effectively crippled. I use nano for most work on remote servers, But fro all of the
server that have a GUI installed we use (used) kwrite.
You could, of course, do what it says to do....
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo kwrite
[sudo] password for egreshko:
Executing KWrite as root is not possible. To edit files as root use:
SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit <file>
You also have to be in a directory that isn't owned by you to start the process. I
guess it is an inconvenience but since I only use vi it doesn't bother me.
Since kwrite is a KDE application you may want to ask the folks on the KDE list.
