Ah, found something else out:

In on terminal, run gedit.  Nothing will happen.  Then, in a second
terminal, run gedit again.  Now a window pops up.  The interesting thing
is the second instance exited immediately.  The first instance is still
running, but now the following message appears on STDERR:

** (gedit:5671): CRITICAL **: _gedit_app_get_window_in_viewport:
assertion `GEDIT_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

I had a similar problem with empathy's chat window not showing up the
first time you click Chat (but it does the second time.)  Is this
perhaps a problem with Unity?

Title:
  gedit will never start on first attempt

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  For whatever reason, in Ubuntu OO, gedit never starts on the first
  attempt.  It always starts on the second and additional attempts.

  I did find this in .xsession-errors:
  ** (process:1675): DEBUG: zeitgeist-datahub.vala:174: Inserting 1 events

  The icon shows up in the task bar for a few seconds, fading in and
  out.  Then it just disappears when you click on it.

  To reproduce, go to the dash search, type in gedit, then click on it.
