Thanks, and yes i have that too since i frequently need to edit root files... i think its probably some gtk theming issue that nokia set up for user and not root. There are also issues with associations when running as root... something about dbus not being configured. But i usually just need to edit or view something when i'm root so its not a big issue.

I made an extra shortcut to launch in root mode since i do that so often. If anyone else wants to do the same i wrote up description of how i do this here :
