** Description changed:

  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.
+ Ubuntu should consider using pluma as the default text-editor or geany.
  
  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.
