user permissions problems

[Jimmy Wu]

Can anyone help me solve this mystery?
Gedit won't let me save: It tells me Saving has been disabled by the system
administrator, and the save menu/toolbar options are disabled (grayed out)
However, I am the system administrator on my single-user Ubuntu machine (
7.04)
Saving does work when I start gedit from the terminal with sudo
I have no idea why this is happening.  I have gone to
System>Administration>Users and Groups, but everything seems normal there
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
- Jimmy
