Public bug reported:

Ubuntu package version: 3.22.0-1ubuntu1
Desktop environment: Unity

No menubar appears either within the program window or on the global
menu when ran with super-user permissions via gksu/sudo. Bug is not
present when ran as a normal user. Bug is also not present when logging
in to the desktop session as 'root' (NOT recommended).

Similar to the bug reported in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1518516 ,but ONLY
affects gedit when used with sudo/gksu.

[[Related rant: Does anyone even like this new, ugly, bug-riddled gedit
interface? Like everyone else that I've seen discuss the topic, I miss
the "classic" gedit interface. It looked better and was stable and
resilient. This new interface looks awkward and is causing issues in
many DEs, including its native GNOME.]]
