#848631 is a duplicate.  I made a comment in there that may or may not
be relevant:

In a 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?

Bug description:
  The gedit window fails to appear when I start gedit on my first try.
  It does appear on my second try. This is true when starting from the
  launcher, opening a document from a folder, or opening a file using
  the terminal. I can see gedit did started the first time; the process
  is running.

  If I start gedit using --standalone it does work the first time. This
  implies that default behaviour is to start gedit in the background.
  The file is ignored when gedit starts in the background, so a second
  call is needed to load the document.
