Please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

I am having this error also.
The thing is that when i open a document (that already existed) and I try to save the existing file this error does not happen!
Anyway,... I tried to check if there was something in my crash directory and unfortunately i didnt find anything!

The error started to happen after upgrading the distribution to Hardy.

Hope i have helped!

Sorry if i made something wrong, but with the information ive posted i tought, there was necessary a new status, so that someone could check it properly.

did you enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restarted your box?

[laurovalente (laurovalente+bugs-lauchpad-net)]

Not only gedit has this problem, the same thing happens with Bluefish editor and OpenOffice...
Probably is a bug in Ubuntu, not only Gedit...
I will enable apport and make the test again.
As soon as I have an answer i post it here.
