[Bug 34634] Re: There is no easy way to copy/move/edit files owned by some other user even if I know password

Like said known issue with Linux... try creating a launcher or menu item with the command "gksu -u root <application>" for nautilus and gedit. 

** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Severity: Normal => Wishlist
       Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed
