Title:
  doesn't reuse running instance when started from nautilus

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  New
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Normally, gedit is a single instance application, meaning that it is
  started only once, and subsequent invocations are merged into the
  already running instance.

  When starting gedit from unity (either via dash, or via Alt+F2) and
  later from somewhere else (I tested opening a file in nautilus,
  opening a file from the archive manager, and running from the command
  line), gedit is started a second time.
