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. If you want to count angels on the head of a pin and rather
than fix a usability problem...
