Bug Description
The GNOME text editor, gedit, has a cool and documented feature (by documented I
mean they tell about it in the man page) which allows it to read input from a
pipe. For example 'ls -lR | gedit' allows one to open a new buffer in gedit and
populate it with the output of 'ls -lR'. This does not seem to work in Ubuntu,
and thus breaks some of my working habits. Would it be possible to enable this
feature in future releases ?

Some additional information about the problem. It seems to be dependant on the
colors used by the shell. When I do
ls -l | gedit
gedit opens with an empty buffer. But if I do
ls -l | cat | gedit
gedit opens a buffer filled with the output of ls -l, as expected. Can this
filtering step be avoided ?
