Bug Description
Binary package hint: exo-utils
Using Xubuntu Jaunty beta
Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release: 9.04
exo-utils 0.3.100-1ubuntu1
Create a text file sample.txt, open a terminal in the same directory and type:
user@host:~$ exo-open sample.txt
method return sender=:1.12 -> dest=:1.174 reply_serial=2
Mousepad opens the file as expected. Now type:
user@host:~$ sudo exo-open sample.txt
[sudo] password for user:
method return sender=:1.1 -> dest=:1.42 reply_serial=2
Nothing happens. The same with gksu, gksudo and sudo su.

Not sure whether this is an upstream issue, or whether it's sudo's fault, or whatever.
