Subject: [Bug 784574] Re: gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started

I don't think this is limited to having gedit in startup applications. To
reproduce this bug, all I need to do (in a Unity desktop):
1. Open gedit from the terminal, unity search, or a unity launch desktop
shortcut, and
2. Open a text document through nautilus.

Nautilus will open a second instance and all documents opened through
nautilus load in that instance. Repeatedly calling gedit edit from
terminal, using alt-f2, etc all re-activate the "unity instance."

Title:
  gedit instance not used by nautilus when auto-started

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  After upgrading to 11.04, I noticed that if gedit is present in the
  "Startup Applications" list, the gedit instance that opens on login is
  no longer used when a text file is opened from nautilus. I don't have
  any details about SIMILAR use cases, since mine is kind of an edge
  case, but here are the reproduction steps:

  1. Using non-Unity GNOME...
  2. Put gedit into the startup applications list (System -> Preferences ->
Startup Applications)
  3. Put a nautilus sftp session into the startup applications list (path:
nautilus sftp://...) [This may or may not be necessary]
  4. Reboot/Re-login
  5. Gedit and Nautilus should open up. Using the Nautilus window, open a text
file (.php, in my case)
  6. Ubuntu should open up a new gedit window, and open the file there, instead
of using the already opened session.

  Expected behaviour:
  Ubuntu should open the text file in the currently open gedit session.
