Public bug reported:

Take a look at this screen shot:
http://neartalk.com/ss/Gedit-No-Menu.png

I like for application menus to show in the Title Bar (not at the top-
panel). However, in the new Gedit GUI, the menu is inaccessible if your
desktop preference is to show menus in title bar.

Unless this changes, I won't use gedit anymore because my preference of
showing menus in title bars outweighs my desire to use gedit. Perhaps
Ubuntu should consider using Geany as the default text-editor or
leafpad.

It doesn't make sense for gedit to remain the default text-editor if it
cannot play nice with Unity's Desktop-Level menu settings.
