No. Also I noticed that you were root when you did gksu nautilus; exit
root and do it as a standard user, no need to be root as that is what
the gksu command does for you.
If you want to have a root file browser in your Applications|Systems
Tools menu follow these instructions:
==========
How to browse files/folders as root user in Nautilus
* To install File Browser (Root)
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nautilus-root.desktop
*
o Insert the following lines into the new file
[Desktop Entry]
Name=File Browser (Root)
Comment=Browse the filesystem with the file manager
Exec=gksudo "nautilus --browser %U"
Icon=file-manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;System;
==========
Now do:
$ killall gnome-panel
wait until the gnome panel resets, then go to the Applications|Systems
Tools menu and you will find an icon & item marked
'File Browser (Root)'
click & it will issue the gksudo nautilus command for you.
Just remember to be careful what you do with it...
