Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

I had one gedit window opened on the current desktop (with multiple tabs), and then in a console went to edit another file: $ gedit myfile.txt

Expected result: The gedit window should open a new tab with the file (as it usually does)

Actual Result: The console returned, but gedit went non-responsive and crashed (the new file never appeared in the window).
