When I run the command "gksu gedit myfile.txt" gedit opens up with a 2nd tab that says "Untitled Document 1" with a spinning wheel next to the "Untitled Document 1" text. If I switch to this tab, I cannot save the apparent new file, there is no cursor at the beginning, and I cannot type into it. I can close it easily however, but it is annoying to have this come up every time I want to use gksu gedit. This does NOT happen if I use "sudo gedit myfile.txt".
