Public bug reported:

When i type : sudo gedit

, nothing happens and i have to press control c to get back to prompt.

when i type gksudo gedit, it says this:  GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting 
to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
The application 'gedit' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
" 

and it never finishes loading. basically im stuck using vim .

Ubuntu dapper
