Subject: Why does gksudo ...
When you issue something like gksudo "gedit foofile" in a terminal in gnome,
the terminal shows an error message (see below) but the commans works
anyway. Can anyone explain for me in English what is actually happening?
While I have no problem with the result, it seems like there should be a
failure and it makes me curious.

(gedit:5638): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

TIA
