The menu labels will look different depending on what you have configured. I believe the default is to show the generic name "Text Editor" which on a machine setup with the Gnome defaults and only a few extra applications is what we want. If you have more text editors it should be possible to set your menus to show $APPNAME or $APPNAME $GENERIC-NAME. I dont change the defaults very often so I dont happen to know how this is done but I believe changes to Gedit may be unnecessary. What distribution are you using? Normally I would expect distributions installing mutliple text editors to have sorted this out themselves (Mandrake for example has the menu set to say Gedit).
