Regarding the following bug report, since there's no new activity:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc…de4/+bug/187918

I'm automounting my home directory via nfs (it's on a separate machine on the network), with ldap authentication. It appears that automounted directories cannot be accessed as the superuser on the machine that is mounting them.

In other words, I can do this:
$ cd ~
$ touch blah

But I cannot do this:
$ cd ~
$ sudo touch blah
touch: cannot touch `blah': Permission denied

My theory is that kdm-kde4 is using some kind of sudo command to run /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde, which works absolutely fine if I run it from an xterm without sudo.

Any thoughts? Any way to disable this? I can't find an option for it in the config files. Any work-arounds other than logging into xterm and then starting qdbus and running startkde myself?

Cheers,
John Woods
