Public bug reported:
I use VPN to log to my workplace which uses proxy.
I don't know if the proxy is an issue, but with or without $http_proxy set,
gedit won't start properly.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04
Package: gedit 3.18.3-0ubuntu4
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-38.57-gen
`gnome-open somefile.txt` shows the icon in the launcher, blinking.

Also tried to clear the config With very limited success: rm -rf
~/.config/gedit

the NFS server!
As soon as I've disabled the autofs service and unmounted `/mnt/disk`
