Help file adjustment

[actionparsnip]

'sudo gedit' is recommended in the help file for gedit. Sudo is not suitable for GUI apps and gksudo should be used.

Can this be tweaked.

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.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

sudo gedit is crashing gnome-settings and gnome-shell in 13.04 because it changes the ownership of ~/.cache/dconf/user to root:root.

Then use the OS correctly and use gksudo. There is a reason why it exists
