Bug Description

Please add PolicyKit/pkexec support for Gedit. gksu is no longer installed by default (and wasn't updated since 2009) and pkexec needs a policy file (attached to this bug report) to work with Gedit: http://askubuntu.com/questions/284306/why-is-gksu-no-longer-installed-by-default/284717#284717

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Cosimo Cecchi (a GNOME dev) says that he's working on this for GNOME 3.22 (Ubuntu 17.04 for us, if Nautilus and Gedit 3.22 make it into that release).
