I haven't tried all of that, but I use sudo kwrite /etc/somefile all the time 
when I want to do some configuration. There are a lot of messages about 
connecting to deprecated signal, application may misbehave, but after a few 
oments kwrite opens up and I can edit the file as root and don't need to bother 
with nearly unusable editors like vi or nano and the like.
