gedit hangs on start

[Craig Blake]

When trying to start gedit on Ubuntu 14.04 it hangs for a long time (longer than 5 minutes) without opening a window. Sometimes when I come back to the laptop 30 minutes or more later it has finally opened a gedit window.

Sorry I am no longer using Ubuntu so I cannot say if the bug still exists.
