Gksudo used instead of sudo in ubuntu-docs

[Robin Sonefors]

According to the wiki, you shouldn't run graphical applications with
sudo, or else bad things will happen to you. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't really go into any details about why or how,
which makes everyone sound like your typical conservative: "No, don't do
drugs OR ELSE!". While the topic is up, and we're in the mailing list we
are, it might not be inappropriate to ask: Why?
