Same issue on both natty and oneiric (32bit and 64bit). Why is this bug
marked as a duplicate of #761836 (Gtk-WARNING when running with sudo).
gedit is a gtk graphic application & gksu/gksudo is the proper command,
sudo is not advised & can cause issues with .ICEauthority.
$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

The 'Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",'
warnings are resolved by:
$ sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
per: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quickly/+bug/853232
$ gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
(gedit:2048): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into
`/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create
file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.F0Y13V': No such file or
directory
(gedit:2048): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to set the permissions of
`/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: No such file or
directory
The workaround of:
$ sudo mkdir -p /root/.local/share
does work. However, a user shouldn't need to do that to run '$ gksudo
gedit'.
