Please describe the problem:
When I try to open a file that's mostly text with some binary data, gedit
produces the error message:

Could not open the file "/home/eric/Projects/Gnu…ecoder/traffic/c07-c.dat"
because gedit has not been able to automatically detect the character coding.

Please, check that you are not trying to open a binary file and try again
selecting a character coding in the 'Open File...' (or 'Open Location') dialogue.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open gedit.
2. Try to open a binary file.



Actual results:
gedit produces the error message pasted in the "description" area of this bug
report.

Expected results:
gedit should open the file. In place of unprintable characters, gedit should
display those little square boxes with four hex numbers inside of them that I
see in Firefox all the time, or some equivalent.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Please see the attached screenshot and sample data file.
