Problem to open gedit using root

Question

I am on ubuntu 12.10.

Every time that I try to open gedit on root this appears:

(gedit:3254): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported

** (gedit:3254): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus

Answer 1

Use gksudo for this:

gksudo gedit

That should do the trick.
