Title:
  "Untitle Document" opens when opening a document using `gksu[do] gedit
  /path/to/file"`.

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  $ gedit  # opens untitled document
  $ gedit /path/to/file  # opens file
  $ sudo gedit /path/to/file  # opens file
  $ gksu gedit /path/to/file  # opens file & untitled document
  $ gksudo gedit /path/to/file  # opens file & untitled document

  The "Untitled Document" should only be opened when no file is
  provided, according to `man gedit`.

  Additionally, when "Untitled Document" is opened unexpectedly via
  gksu[do], its tab icon is shown as the rotating "loading" icon.
  Occasionally the icon will stop "spinning", when the tab is focused
  /un-focused it will continue spinning, until it freezes again. On the
  other had, when I expect "Untitled Document" to be opened (e.g.
  `gedit`), its tab icon is the proper "plain-text" icon.
