Kubuntu 12.10 - The Little Things Keep Getting Me

Easy explaination: sudo is for command line, kdesudo is for GUI.

So, if you want to move a file using the command line: sudo mv ~/mywallpaper.jpg /usr/share/wallpapers/

To use Dolphin: kdesudo dolphin - then drag and drop.

An even better way to use Dolphin as root is to install the root-actions-servicemenu. Then you can right-click on a file and select "Copy" or "Move" as root.

About LightDm's user icons, if you have an encryped home folder you cannot get a user icon via the ~/face.icon file.

Thanks all. I cocked up and installing the LTS version now. Hoping that isn't different.
