Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please

  Add policy to Polkit

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  http://www.webupd8.org/2015/03/how-to-run-gedit-and-nautilus-as-
  root.html

  Add the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hotice/webupd8/master/org.gnome.gedit.policy
  to /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/

  So the user can start a gedit session with superuser privileges to
  edit files outside the home directory using 'pkexec gedit'.
