Tell user what to do instead of using sudo or kdesu

  • Overview 11
  • Commits 1
  • Changes 2

This warning shown when running Kate or KWrite using sudo or kdesu is not very helpful, and leaves the user with the impression that Kate and KWrite have no functionality for editing documents requiring elevated privileges, when in fact the opposite is true. But we have not told the user what to do instead of what they were trying to do, so they do not know about it.

So let's tell the user what to do instead. :)
