Binary package hint: gedit

Normally, gedit is a single instance application, meaning that it is started only once, and subsequent invocations are merged into the already running instance.

When starting gedit from unity (either via dash, or via Alt+F2) and later from somewhere else (I tested opening a file in nautilus, opening a file from the archive manager, and running from the command line), gedit is started a second time.
