I don't know what you mean by 'what I'm going to try'. Of course you can do *anything* with sudo/gksu. That doesn't take away from the fact that with normal user permissions, you can't open the file. Sudo/gksu is in a sense a meta-application, outside of normal GUI conventions. (If you're going to include it in the conversation, then there's another bug in that Nautilus should have an authenticate dialog to open locked files it DOES know how to handle.) And opening from Nautilus means "just open this file with the most sensible thing".
But hey.
