I'm surprised that I haven't seen this mentioned in these forums or elsewhere on the web.
I've installed 'nautilus-gksu' in Karmic just like I always do when installing Ubuntu. In previous releases when selecting 'Open as administrator' on a folder the resulting new nautilus window would open with the nautilus profile settings of root. This is nice when you have multiple nautilus windows open as you can easily see which ones are root by the different icons and other nautilus settings. It's the same for Karmic but now my entire session becomes that of root (desktop, background, etc.) and the only way to revert back to my normal profile is to log off/on. Entering 'gksu-nautilus' at the command line gives the same result. Quite annoying and counter-productive, to say the least.
Am I missing a new Karmic setting or something else? Barring that, is there a better/quicker way to revert back to my normal user profile?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've rooted around quite a bit (no pun intended) but haven't turned up a solution yet.
