I'm not sure I agree that this is an information leak. All Gobby does is listing its capability to serve as an (text) editor in its .desktop file. It might be questionable if it should be listed as a text editor in, say, Firefox. Which file type did you try to open? It should only be responsible for files that are detected with the text/plain mime-type, e.g. .txt files.

Furthermore, it pastes the filename instead of opening it? If so I really tend not to consider this as a serious leak of information. If the file is uploaded to the server, this might be different. (It might be sane to invoke a dialog if the file should really be uploaded to the server then.)
