Bug Description

One instance of gedit looks great and polished with Ubuntu top bar that is the one you can open normally via .desktop file or "gedit" in the terminal.
But when you "sudo gedit" in the terminal a second instance of gedit opens (which is Ok since one is with sudo and one without) but the sudo gedit instance has the old gnome top bar with the strange looking close and minimize buttons
