I like to use kate for system management file editing... i.e. I su to root and then open kate that conveniently saves sessions of multiple files. In 11.3 I get this:
loota:/data1/home> su
Password: loota:/data1/home # kate & [1] 4373
loota:/data1/home # kate(4373): Session bus not found
KCrash:
Application 'kate' crashing...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching
sock_file=/root/.kde4/socket-loota/kdeinit4__0 directly.
drkonqi(4374): Session bus not found
[1]+ Exit 253 kate loota:/data1/home #
And the same happens for kwrite. Both work for the main user though (when started from the terminal). What should I do? Currently I'm editing the files in good ol emacs
As your normal user: "kdesu /usr/bin/kate" This starts kate as root, but preserves the environment needed.
