Empty document created when launching gedit with gksudo

[Szymon Nieznański]

When using 'gksudo gedit' an empty "Untitled Document" is always opened in another tab. Furthermore, the document is marked as modified, even though it's empty which results in the "Save changes to document before closing?" dialog appearing when quiting gedit.

Expected behaviour: the document shouldn't be marked as modified when launching without options or shouldn't appear at all when editing another file.
