Bug#577190: gedit doesn't allow preferences change

[Willian Gustavo Veiga]

Package: gedit
Version: 2.28.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

When I run gedit in terminal as root, preferences change isn't allowed. Every
preferences are disabled.  How to reproduce that: - Open a terminal - su -
gedit - edit -> preferences  Then I receive a lot of errors like that:
"(gedit:5390): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session
manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed  Erro do GConf:
Falha ao contatar o servidor de configuração; algumas das causas possíveis
são: necessidade de habilitar rede TCP/IP no ORBit ou existência de arquivos
de bloqueio deixados para trás no NFS devido a algum um erro do sistema. Para
mais informações consulte: http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/. (Detalhes -  1:
Falha ao obter uma conexão à sessão: Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
connection was broken.)"  But, if I type "su -" everything works. I can change
preferences...  I'm running Debian Sid and XFCE 4.
