Behavior:

gksu gedit

will simply hang.

[code]
ps -e | grep gksu
[\code]

with show an instance of gksu that has not used any processor time. If I kill the process, gedit will open without root privileges.

[code]
 sudo -H -S -p GNOME_SUDO_PASS -u root gedit
[\code]

also fails.

[code]
sudo gedit &
[\code]

will work fine.
