You are right, this will be a problem... There are apparently
workarounds like this:
rsync -av --rsync-path='sudo rsync' ....
But I have had inconsistent success with this in the past. The most
annoying being
that in this case depending on your TTY setup your password will be
echoed for the sudo command. :(

True, qconf reads the $EDITOR env variable so you can do something
like this before running all the qconf things
$ export $EDITOR=nedit
I have added this to the wiki page.
Thanks
