GnomeUI-WARNING -->help.

Whats up with that?
(gedit:27478): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to
session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the
authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based
authentication failed.
Why aren't any of the specified protocols supported? And what is
host-based authentication, and why is it failing? Finally, what can I do
about this? I've seen this warning many times, and I'm not really sure
what problem(s) if any, it causes, but I'd still rather fix it. Any help
is, as always, appreciated.

X11 saves security credentials in your home directory. When you run
as root (which you shouldn't), you get root's home directory. The
credentials for conectiong to your X11-server is not there.

Read man pages about X11 and security. xauthority and xauth would be
good things to search about.
Make basic understanding about X11. Like it is a net distributed
graphical system, whith a client and server-part that can be on same
or different machines. And that makes some of these problems you
having.
Good luck
