@samuel - Thanks for the function. Unfortunately, that only works from the terminal; it doesn't work from Alt+F2.
For that reason, the simplest method is to create a new file (I call it "ggedit"), place it in your path, and make it executable. The file contains just one line: gksudo gksudo gedit "${@}" Use "ggedit" (or whatever you call the script) instead of "gksudo gedit", and this will work from Alt+F2, the terminal, or anywhere else. -- 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
