Title:
  Titlebar for root GUI programs no longer identified as root

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Natty, when opening a GUI as root (e.g. gksudo nautilus), the
  titlebar clearly identified the window as being a root window with the
  wording "ROOT:".

  In Precise, this is no longer present.

  I think this was an important feature and should not be regressed.
