I'll probably get my hands slapped for this; but in the interim you can create an alias so that you do not have to type 'gksudo gksudo' or 'gksu gksu' each time:
$ gedit ~/.bashrc Scroll down the the alias section & add the last two lines shown here: # some more ls aliases #alias ll='ls -l' #alias la='ls -A' #alias l='ls -CF' alias gksudo='gksudo gksudo' alias gksu='gksu gksu' Save & exit. Then: $ . ~/.bashrc Note that there is a space following the first dot (.). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/796076 Title: When run as root [gksudo gedit <whatever>] gedit tries to open a 2nd 'untitled document 1' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/796076/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
