Public bug reported:

On a fully updated Precise i386 system (obtained by replacing oneiric
with precise in sources.list, dist-upgrading, and rebooting) with gedit
3.2.1-0ubuntu1, I created a test file and opened it in gedit:

ek@Gnar:~$ echo test > foo
ek@Gnar:~$ gedit foo

This behaved exactly as expected. Then I quit gedit and opened the file
in gedit as root:

ek@Gnar:~$ gksu gedit foo

This opened the file, but opened a new untitled document as well, as
shown in the attached screenshot.

This also happens on Oneiric (same gedit version, test machine amd64).
