--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Any settings you change are saved to your user account. But when you run apps
using `sudo`, they get their settings from the root user account, because
they're being run as the root user.

In general, GUI apps should not be run using `sudo`; they should be smart
enough to request elevated privileges themselves when you launch them and use
them normally. Any apps that don't do this should be fixed, and ideally not
used at all until that happens.
