Dear Developers:

While working on a /.folder this morning, I chose to use gksudo nautilus.

Then after a while, I noticed I had two file manager (Nautilus) windows open. One was not running under gksudo. One was running under gksudo.

If the Nautilus running under gksudo had a different border color than the one NOT running as superuser, it would eliminate confusion. I'm not asking that Nautilus be "smart" and know how many windows are open using it, only that the file manager window running as superuser have a different border color to prevent confusion.
