This is an issue mirrored on all UNIX-like and UNIX systems. gksu gedit might suit you. For practicality, running a GUI editor as root is a no-no. Nano is the way to go, as pico is bundled with pine, which is dead news. I just feel that starting up dependent gnome subsystems as root just to run an editor is naive. I used to run nedit on my IRIX system which is decent. James
