I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 on two machines and both exhibit the same problem when attempting to open a root terminal via the built in gksu command.

The suggestion to use:
   gnome-terminal -e "sudo -i"
is not sufficient for me, as I defined a different default profile for the root user which has a different text color (to visually differentiate a normal terminal from a su terminal) and the root profile is not loaded using this workaround.

Very annoying that a built in option like "Root terminal" was broken by the 9.10 upgrade....
