Title:
  Unity in Oneiric Gedit does not let gedit act as "active", causes
  opening of new documents when trying to return to gedit window.

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I upgraded to Oneiric, I am running gedit.

  Version:
  cat /proc/version
  cat /etc/issue
  uname -a
  Linux version 3.0.0-17-generic (buildd@roseapple) (gcc version 4.6.1

  Set up:
  Open gedit
  Create/edit some files
  Have multiple file tabs open in a single session of gedit

  Switch to firefox
  Want to switch back to gedit using the unity left sidebar

  Expected behavior:
  Gedit icon in unity sidebar should have "active" triangle on it's left.
  Clicking gedit should show the last text document that I was working on.

  Actual, buggy behavior:
  Gedit icon in unity sidebar does not have an "active" triangle near it.
  Clicking on the gedit icon successfully opens the active, existing window of 
gedit, but it also opens a new tab with an untitled document, moving the focus 
away from the tab with the document that was actually in the process of being 
edited before switching windows.

  This makes it very hard to continue editing when switching back to the
  gedit window is so disruptive.
