Description kenden 2007-02-18 16:33:15 UTC
Steps to reproduce the issue:

I want to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf which is read-only.

- With Nautilus, I browse to /etc/X11/.
- I right click on the xorg.conf, and choose "Open With > Open With Other Application..."
- In the "Open With" window, I choose "Use a custom command", and type "gksudo gedit", then press open.
- Gedit opens up with write permission. Close it.
- Now, when I right click on xorg.conf again and choose "Open With", I have the choice:
  "Open With "gksudo"
This does not help me identify which program will be launched.

Correct behavior:
Nautilus should display the full command I entered:
Right Click > Open With > gksudo gedit


Other information:
Using Ubuntu 6.10
