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 [ "$1" = "gedit" ]
then
shift
gksudo gksudo gedit "$@"
else
command gksudo "$@"
fi
}
to your .bashrc will fix it. For those who don't know bash, it's a function
that will be called when the user types gksudo. If the second argument is
gedit, then it shifts the argument array, to drop off the first, and then
passes the argument array to gksudo gksudo gedit. (This makes sure that if the
users specifies a file to open it will get opened). Otherwise it just runs
gksudo for us.
