My exact steps logged in as a normal user from a FC3 cli; 1.) su 2.) entered root's password 3.) gedit The error message comes up but gnome editor functions as expected. > -=- > That being said - I do not recommend running gedit as root. > Learn how to use vi - there are plenty of resources on the web for that. > vi is not hard to use, and worth learning in the long run. Well versed in vi here, been using it since SCO Open Server 5.0.4. Personally, any file I edit gets scpd' to a FreeBSD server, edited with mc (Midnight Commander) & scpd' back.
