Public bug reported:

When opening a text file as super user, using gksu gedit ...., the
requested file opens, along with a second, untitled document.  This is
slightly annoying, since gedit will ask if the untitled document should
be saved once the desired file has been edited and gedit is closed.
Opening a file as a regular user does not have this problem.
