I have not experienced this in about a month. The launchpad/console issue is fixed, but the problem appears to have mutated. as stated above the dash is starting gedit as a server. The window will not appear until another instance is started either by running gedit or choosing a document that will run gedit.

It does appear on my second try. This is true when starting from the launcher, opening a document from a folder, or opening a file using the terminal. I can see gedit did started the first time; the process is running. If I start gedit using --standalone it does work the first time. This implies that default behaviour is to start gedit in the background. The file is ignored when gedit starts in the background, so a second call is needed to load the document.
