This is because in Unity's environment, DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS is set.
And in gedit (gedit-dbus.c:767), that will trigger gedit to start as a
service instead of a standalone window.  So it won't show anything, but
it will be around to grab and proxy future gedit opens (as you see when
you try to launch it the second time).

Not sure of the proper fix for this yet.

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.
