I don't understand. If a user who has the right to act as root

you!".
The point is, if things in Fedora require "run this bit of GUI as root"
in order to function, we've done a poor job. That people have bad
habits already is not sufficient justification to encourage them to
have more.
To the bug in question: probably we should make it so 'sudo gedit' does
work, but I'd still strongly discourage anyone from actually doing so.
