KDialog after boot and when home folder is opened KDE 4.4

[brute]

Not sure if anyone else has this happen, just kind of annoying. When ever I boot up I get the KDialog box stating that configuration file /home/name/KDE/share/config/dolphinrc not writeable. Please contact sys adm.

I just upgraded the KDE desktop and this happened after upgrade.

That usually happens when you use "sudo dolphin" when you should have used "kdesudo dolphin"

The fix is to change the permissions of the file

sudo chown <yourname>:<yourgroup> /home/name/KDE/share/config/dolphinrc

You might want to take a careful look to see if the permissions of any of your other private configuration files have been borked

The other thing that is weird is that the error refers to a "strange" path. On my system the path to the KDE configuration files is /home/user/.kde whereas yours is referring to /home/user/KDE

I am sorry there is a .KDE I run it again and seen that. I am still not sure how to change that. It has never happened before.
