I thought gksudo is what sudo is in terminal. I wanted to open SciTE eleveted and change some "protected" file, so I issue 'gksudo SciTE`, but nothing happens, SciTE isn't run at all - gksudo dialog shows, then I enter my password, but program doesn't start.



Is there some limitation which programs can be run under gksudo, or how do I run SciTE elevated?

If all else fails, there's always the old standby:



$ sudo su

# SciTE


Or maybe you could check the logs and find out if its failing for a reason?
