[orca-list] gedit: could not open display when using it as root?



Try this in Ubuntu 12.04. I do not know if this is an accessibility problem because I could not find much about the problem anywhere online. It seems that when doing:

 

$sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/srs

 

I end up getting:

Gedit: could not open display. Type ‘gedit –help’ for more options.

$gedit test_file

[gedit opens with a blank file]

…after closing gedit…

 

$gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/srs

[gtk window asking for administrator’s password appears. Typing the password and pressing ENTER closes the process with the following in the terminal window]

 

GTK **warning** (2575): could not find GTK theme in ‘MODULE_PATH’. Pixmap.

$

 

Any idea what could be going on? Some website recommended to install gtk2-engines-pixbuf. After doing this I still get the same problem. Could Orca be interfering somehow?
