Comment 2 for bug 136876

I've also noticed the issue on Gutsy on both my laptop and workstation.

All of the triggering seems to work normally but the trigger text is deleted and replaced with a tab, in my case 2 spaces.

If I run gedit from the commandline it logs the following to screen...

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/xmlbuilder.py:8: Warning: IA__g_object_remove_toggle_ref: couldn't find toggle ref 0xb5f97a30(0x86bd39c)
