Another thing is that with the workaround 'sudo -i' when you hit Ctrl+Shift+T to open another tab on gnome-terminal it will open with your normal user and not even ask for the sudo password, and being used to use the terminal as root this is very anoying. Bottom line is that having a menu item for root terminal it should work (as it did), and as soon I get more info for where to look to solve this bug I'll try solving again.
