fast-user-switch-applet complains about gedit preventing restart

[Per Ångström]

Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet

Found in Fast User Switch Applet 2.24.0/Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha.

If gedit is open, the Fast User Switch Applet will not allow me to do a quick restart - it shows a dialog that says that "Text Editor" is blocking log out. This happens even when I have no unsaved changes in gedit.

How to reproduce:
1) Make sure you have gedit open, with no unsaved changes.
2) Click on the Fast User Switch Applet icon.
3) Choose Restart from the pull-down menu.

Expected behavior: The system should initiate a restart.
Actual behavior: A caption-less dialog appears, having the text "A program is still running" and showing the gedit icon.

100 % reproducible.

If I choose Restart from the dialog that comes up when I choose Shutdown from the System menu, I don't get the same blocking behavior. Therefore I'm reporting this problem on the fast-user-switch-applet package, although there might just as well be something in gedit that's causing it.

Thats not anything to do with the fast-user-switch-applet. gnome-session displays that dialog, but it is gedit that inhibits the session. I'll re-assign this to gedit, but I don't think it's a bug. This is intended behaviour. Does it happen even when there are no unsaved changes in gedit?

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

I understand. But I find it weird that I don't get the same dialog when I restart via the System menu.
