If you run with gksudo you're running a full GUI app as root for no
reason _and_ causing a bug because the .nvidia-settings-rc file will be
saved for the root user instead of for the user running the app so
setting changes they make that _don't_ write to xorg.conf will not be
saved in the correct location.

I would say just making a full GUI app run as root is enough of a bug to
not implement this 'fix'. We're trying to reduce the number of apps that
do such a thing, not increase them.
