Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 11.10, gedit opens a useless extra blank file, when you open
another file with gksudo.
Strangely enough, this does not happen when you start gedit with *sudo*
instead of *gksudo*. Nor does it happen when you start gedit normally,
without root permissions. It only happens with gksudo.
You can reproduce this bug as follows (example, in which you open
/etc/apt/sources.list):
- open a terminal
- type: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Tags: blank gedit gksudo oneiric
