Title:
  gedit crashes when opening an empty file

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  gedit crashes when opening an empty file.

  1. create an empty file by right-clicking on the file browser and choosing 'create document' then 'empty file'.
  2. double-click on the file to open
  3. gedit runs and crashes immediately (The gedit window disappears).

  I tried in the terminal as well and got the following message.
  $ gedit anEmptyFile 
  (gedit:14929): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_converter_convert: assertion `outbuf_size > 0' failed
  Segmentation fault

  I'm using Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) Desktop (64bit). It's upgraded from 9.10.
  The version of gedit is 2.30.2.
