Bug Description

Hi,

( Ubuntu 16.04 / Unity )

The gedit window has no shadow around its borders, which is quite annoying when opened above other white or light background window(s).

Happen only and immediatly when run through (gk)sudo.

Shadow is present with normal user.

It seems "confirmed" here https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=21517385#p21517385

Comments #1 and #2 written before kikito made me notice the sudo parameter.

On 2016-07-26 I re-installed ubuntu from 16.04.1 iso.

There is now a shadow around gedit window through (gk)sudo but
- locally integrated menus are still missing,
- corners are not "rounded" as in normal run.

I've tried other text editor and mousepad looks quite equivalent.

Mousepad has its window shadowed when run through gksudo BUT it loses global menu (global menu is ok in normal user)

It may seem that root user does not link to the right style/window properties ? ? ?
