Package: base
Severity: normal

Any attempt to use a GNOME based application from gnome-terminal with root 
privileges results in the following warning:

           GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
           Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication 
           protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication 
           failed.

This makes some applications partially unusable. For example, trying to use 
gnome-terminal as root will fail to load/write preferences and the same with 
Gedit.

Works as designed, thus closing.

Still reassigning though, as maybe the gnome developers really want to give 
you even better ways to shoot yourself in the foot. (I dont think that should 
be done, "that" being allowing to run every x app as root from 
gnome-root-terminal out-of-the-box.)
