Thanks Chris for the prompt reply. First time (after a reboot) I tried gksudo I didn't get the warning message. Second time after closing and then reopening terminal I get the warning message (see attached). I'm not too clear as to when I should use sudo and when gksudo. Is there a document on this ? I thought that gksudo was only required for graphics and up to now I've been using sudo for everything!!!
