From my earlier email (slightly edited, to allow for the fact that I now know that you use some KDE applications but are running Gnome): <quote> Do Alt+F2. Type "gksu kwrite" (without the quotation marks) in the small window that opens. When asked for password, enter the root password. When Kwrite opens, load file as you would in a wordprocessor. Save As to a new name. (e.g. conf.file.old) Reload file under original name. Edit. Save. Close Kwrite. </quote> But gedit is a also a graphical editor, so if you have that (and you probably have since you are running Gnome), you could see how you get on with it - tho' you would still need to run it as root.
