Hi;
I am running a fully updated F11/KDE x64 box.
It seems to me that I used to be able to surf my filesysten as a user.
Find a file owned by 'root' and edit it.
Then either at the start or end of the edit (save), I would be asked for
roots password.
Now I can edit a file owned by root, but cannot save it.
No prompt for password is given.
e.g. using dolphin defaults to 'gedit' then 'save' :
Could not save the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.
You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check
that you typed the location correctly and try again.
Is this configuable/fixable:
I can of course sudo but not in a gui.

Standard guarantee applies - 30 feet or 30 seconds, whichever comes first.
Memory plays such tricks ;-) You've never been able to do what you want to
do. It would be nice, I agree. I've often cursed after making the same
mistake. I don't know why you can't - but I assume there's a reason ;-)
