[Solved]Gnome : libgnomevfs-WARNING**: Unable to create ~/.gnome2

Hello everybody!
I've a very strange problem
When I want to open an application as a root it doesn't work.
For example when I try to edit a file with Gedit by using this command :

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/00-myrules.rules

(yes I know that editing a root file with Gedit is the evil ^^), the terminal says :

libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
Impossible de créer un répertoire de configuration GNOME par utilisateur « /home/root/.gnome2/ » : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

That's very annoying, can someone help me please ?
Thank you

Re: [Solved]Gnome : libgnomevfs-WARNING**: Unable to create ~/.gnome2

solved the problem by editing the file /etc/passwd.
root's file was located at /home/root instead of /root
