(someone recently emailed me asking if I'd put the precise & raring builds in a standalone ppa so will do so.
I changed my mind and decided to just leave it alone.
I had already added this workaround someone mentioned on the bug to .bashrc:
Code:
# gksudo gedit opening 2 tabs fix
gksudo ()
{
if [ "$1" = "gedit" ]
then
shift
gksudo gksudo gedit "$@"
else
command gksudo "$@"
fi
}
