Comment 33 for bug 827414

I got tired of waiting for this to be fixed, so I implemented a workaround.

I moved the gedit binary to gedit.bin, then I created a shell-script named "gedit" that calls gedit.bin with the --standalone option:

% mv /usr/bin/gedit /usr/bin/gedit.bin
% vi /usr/bin/gedit

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/gedit.bin --standalone "$@"

% chmod 755 /usr/bin/gedit

Hopefully this helps someone who is having this issue.
