[Bug 173283] Re: Kate (?and Quanta and KDevelop user preferences) do not save

[benmoreassynt]

I've also resolved it. The particular files involved differed from those
mentioned by David Knippers and newsun.

The solution was:

sudo chown all files mentioned by David Knippers to your own username.
My settings still would not save.

Next

sudo chown -R username ~/.kde/share/apps kate
sudo chown -R username ~/.kde/share/apps katepart

This removes all settings files from root ownership and readonly status
for other users.

I can't see that there's ever a good reason why files in ~/.kde should
be owned by root, so I was happy to chown everything.

I'd be interested to know if all users (like me) use or have used
English locale settings set to something non-standard (ie not US) and/or
had the problem with borked text in the KDE menu. See
