Title:
  opening existing file with gksu gedit creates untitled document

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  New
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
