This feature would be very nice.
But Ubuntu should at least offer an option in the file manager(s) to "open as root" like some other distros (plus a warning somewhere in the window that it's dangerous, like Thunar and Mousepad do when running as root).
Right now, accessing/editing system files requires using sudo in terminal (gksudo was removed so it's not an option) or adding custom actions/scripts to the file manager (and nautilus-gksu was also removed), which is not very user friendly.
