I have a menu item, 'sudo gedit', which has worked for years but just stopped working (on a current testing system). Running from the command line, I get:
No protocol specified (gedit:30084): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 as I do when I try to run gedit in a root terminal. I hope this is not another example of putting misplaced security concerns ahead of functionality. It's not a problem with my sudoers file as another menu item, which runs 'sudo aptitude' in a terminal, works. How can I run gedit as root?
