Comment 6 for bug 995747

Tested on

Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Desktop - 32 Bit

gedit:
  Installed: 2.30.3-0ubuntu0.1
  Candidate: 2.30.3-0ubuntu0.1

List of active plugins:
gconftool-2 -g /apps/gedit-2/plugins/active-plugins
[modelines,spell,docinfo,filebrowser,time,externaltools]

No output when started in terminal and running the remove trailing spaces tool that uses identical sed:
#!/bin/sh

sed 's/[[:blank:]]*$//'

So I guess it's not sed's fault.
