I tried to debug it a bit. First I noticed that this opens a new tab. 1) run gedit from dash 2) run "gedit" in Terminal While this opens a new process: 1) run gedit from dash 2) run "gedit file" in Terminal
I have debugged gedit a bit while the instance opened from dash was running: $ GEDIT_DEBUG="" gedit gedit-3.2.0/gedit/gedit.c [0.000017 (0.000017)] gedit.c:235 (main) Startup [0,047591 (0,047574)] gedit-dbus.c:1651 (gedit_dbus_run) [0,047937 (0,000346)] gedit-dbus.c:1682 (gedit_dbus_run) Own name org.gnome.gedit [0,058506 (0,010569)] gedit-dbus.c:1604 (bus_acquired_cb) [0,060411 (0,001905)] gedit-dbus.c:1638 (name_lost_cb) [0,060512 (0,000101)] gedit-dbus.c:724 (handle_slave) So it is doing some dbus start which seems to be the problem. It is starting the dbus main loop here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/oneiric/gedit/oneiric/view/head:/gedit/gedit-dbus.c#L1685 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777292 Title: Gedit not single instance when started from unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/777292/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
