Bug Description

Hi,

when run through (gk)sudo in 16.04.1

- gedit has no global or locally integrated menus, instead it falls back to CSD but withouth the cog for accessing important features ( search, replace… ) !

- Nautilus, synaptic… have no global or locally integrated menus, instead it shows an old-fashioned style still menu, at least usable but space wasting.
___________

2016.10.02 : any chance the CSD part in gedit might get fixed because this is really a daily pain…

2017.03.09 : still the same problem on fresh install xenial 16.04.2
have to use other text editor when (gk)sudo text-editing needed.

Note this is pretty much a dup of bug #1527590 (Menu isn't shown in gedit when run with sudo).
