This will probably not be experienced by most people and I pretty much just stumbled across this bug myself so it probably wouldn't be a high priority but I wanted to submit it anyway. The bug occurs when running as root or invoking root with gksu. Another bug is found when invoking with gksu using the "-k" option to stay in the user environment.
