PCManFM opened with gksudo crashes

I have Lubuntu 16.04 LTS, which I really like, I am quite competent, but I don't know everything about Linux. So, sometimes in LXTerminal, I use the command, gksudo pcmanfm + password, to access write permissions in the file manager, for some system files.



Recently something has gone wrong with my installation, and when I run this command, the resulting PCManFM Window is crashed, and it does not work at all. I am afraid something has gone wrong with my installation.



How can I find the problem and fix it?
