Additionally we must install libzeitgeist (with whatever  security
issues it includes). Personally I do not like zeitgeist so currently, in
"vivid" which I test in virtualbox,  I have to decide between installing
gedit from source (and be unsecured) or from repositories (and be, maybe
less, unsecured).

Title:
  gedit additional dependancis different from stock GNOME (libzeitgeist)

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Ubuntu gedit have additional dependences that differs from GNOME package. Ubuntu gedit have plugin named "Zeitgeist dataprovider" not described in GNOME Project http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/plugins.html. Upon click on About button link offers URL on GNOME Project homepage.
  Problem with this new dependency is that triggers zeitgeist-deamon and zeitgeist-fts processes under GNOME Classic session and does not stop this processes when gnome process ends.
  This dependencies also triggers this processes in Xubuntu and Lubuntu distributions and its not possible to install gedit without Zeitgeist dataprovider plugin. (gedit is my text editor of choice under all DE)
  Fedora (17 Alpha) based gedit does not have this zeitgeist plugin.
