Description vova 2008-01-31 12:29:50 UTC 
Because if there is running copy of gedit binary will exit before editing is finished. And programs, like crontab -e will not get changed file.

There is need for something like --wait option.

Seems like the default behavior should be the same regardless of whether it's launching a new process or opening a new doc in already-running process. Otherwise it's a kinda chaotic head-scratcher ("unpredictable") for the user as well as for a program that sublaunches. That is, the "gedit" should *always* wait or *never* wait, rather than doing different things based on something external to the scope of the command itself.
