after install "gksudo nautilus" no longer works.

Asked by T. W.

after install "gksudo nautilus" no longer works in terminal, i get an error saying:

Nautilus could not create the required folder "/root/.config/nautilus".
Before running Nautilus, please create the following folder, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create it.

I tried mkdir .config/nautilus and it tells me the folder already exists?

Please Help.
