For that reason, the simplest method is to create a new file (I call

I have a workaround for those LTS users like me who haven't got the fixed
gedit. As stated if gksudo gksudo gedit is run, it doesn't create the empty
document. Therefore, adding this:
gksudo()
{
if [ $1 = gedit ]
then
shift
gksudo gksudo gedit $@
@samuel - Thanks for the function. Unfortunately, that only works from
the terminal; it doesn't work from Alt+F2.

Thanks for the interest to the issue but could you move the discussion

@NoOp: An alias is fine, unless you are using Alt-F2 to run the command.
But don't set gksudo to 'gksudo gksudo', because only gedit has this
problem. Rather set another name. I have created an executable file
called ggedit in my path (~/bin), and it contains just one line:
gksudo gksudo gedit
I don't believe I've ever seen anyone specifically show where sudo gedit
causes any issue.
I generally will use nano but at times will use sudo gedit.

@paddy-landau While I agree that alias for gksudo is not a good solution since

I'll probably get my hands slapped for this; but in the interim you can
create an alias so that you do not have to type 'gksudo gksudo' or 'gksu
gksu' each time:
$ gedit ~/.bashrc
Scroll down the the alias section add the last two lines shown here:
# some more ls aliases
#alias ll='ls -l'
Temporary SOLUTION:
I've found another workaround. Unfortunately for us this doesn't seems
to be a bug, at least I guess there's no intention from gnome developers
to solve it soon:
A upstream developer said: You shouldn't start GNOME programmes with

Does anybody know where can I find the root's config file for gedit? I'm sure
that causes the problem, because if I run sudo gedit, the problem doesn't

I'd just go ahead use sudo gedit or sudo -H gedit
