You could, of course, do what it says to do....

[egreshko@meimei ~]$ sudo kwrite
[sudo] password for egreshko:
Executing KWrite as root is not possible. To edit files as root use:
SUDO_EDITOR=kwrite sudoedit <file>

You also have to be in a directory that isn't owned by you to start the 
process.  I
guess it is an inconvenience but since I only use vi it doesn't bother me.

Since kwrite is a KDE application you may want to ask the folks on the KDE list.
