Same problem.  New install of 16.04.1.
$ gedit --> shows menu
$ sudo gedit --> does NOT show menu
$ gksudo gedit --> does NOT show menu
$ sudo -i ... # gedit --> does NOT show menu
This happens whether the menus are set for the title bar OR for the top of the 
screen.
Tried reinstalling gedit.  No difference.
