Please describe the problem:
When gedit is already started, every invocation of gedit stop immediatly (while opening the file). This is a major problem because it prevents from using gedit in the EDITOR environment variable.

For example there is no way I could say I want "sudo -e" or "visudo" or many others program to use gedit since they expect gedit not to stop until the file is closed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open gedit once
2. open gedit a second time
3. the second invocation returns immediatly


Actual results:
the second invocation returns immediatly

Expected results:
gedit stops only when the opened file is closed

Does this happen every time?
yes
