Gedit seems to have gone wonky... it is not broken, but for some reason the devs have hard coded stuff into it that should be left for the window manager/theme engine. When I opened up gedit in 16.04 it has an inch wide grey "picture frame" around it and no wm decorations. It makes it's own decorations instead which include some menu options as well (Open/Save). It looks completely out of place on the xfce desktop. xubuntu uses mousepad which is a nice lite editor, but lacks many features people might like. I found medit which almost looks like a clone of the way gedit used to be. I would recomend switching them out or using mousepad and leave the choice of editor to the user.

If some people could check this out on the 1604 iso and we can see if we are in agreement on which way to go. The two editors require little in the way of depends. Things like kate pull in more.
