Status in Ubuntu Manual: Confirmed

Bug description:
On page 127, gedit is started with the 'gksudo gedit' command. While this is the correct way of handling a GUI-app with sudo, I think there must be a sidenote explaining the difference or just give the example 'sudo gedit' (because the implications are very, very minimal).
