Ok, so this one is fun. If gedit is within about 30 pixels to the top or bottom of the screen then running "gedit foo" will open a new window. Moving it out of this range opens the file in the current window. Extremely annoying as it often happens that you've moved it down a bit to get it out of the way.

Not sure how the logic for this magic is. _NET_WM_DESKTOP is correct and doesn't change by this movement at least.

Is it with gnome-shell 3.14?

On X11, gedit detects on which desktop a gedit window is, but this code doesn't work on Wayland, so we should anyway do something related to this for Wayland support.
