Comment 47 for bug 155032

I thought I had bug 144722 today, but it turned out to be a NFS permission problem. /home was exported without no_root_squash i.e. root_squash was in effect. (I was also using NFS4, fyi) I believe that this situation would prevent the sudo (or kdesudo) process from having access to the root owned files, such as ~/.kde/share/config/adept_updaterrc. I set no_root_squash on the export, remounted and my problem was solved.
