[Bug 1437395] Re: gedit should display as Text Editor in Default Applications

 

It is shown as Text Editor in the Unity Launcher as well as in the Dash
(screenshot attached). Was that a change that Ubuntu made or was the
upstream decision that it should be Text Editor in some places but gedit
in others?

The bug that you linked doesn't seem to reflect the current situation on
Ubuntu. It was resolved by using X-GNOME-Fullname=gedit Text Editor, but
that isn't used anywhere that I can see.
