["Kent T." <ever4green@xxxxxxx>]

The strange thing is, unlike the duplicate Bug #838404 says, it ONLY
happens with "gksudo", anything else like "sudo", "su" or without this
works fine without the annoying "new document 1". My notice on Xubuntu
11.10 Oneiric.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Ex.
  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab will open fstab successfully but will also try to open "Untitled Document 1" at the same time
  If just running gksudo gedit than you'll get "Untitled Document 1" that never does fully open (become writable
