I tried to debug it a bit.
First I noticed that this opens a new tab.
1) run gedit from dash 2) run "gedit" in Terminal
While this opens a new process:
1) run gedit from dash 2) run "gedit file" in Terminal

I have debugged gedit a bit while the instance opened from dash was running:
$ GEDIT_DEBUG="" gedit gedit-3.2.0/gedit/gedit.c

So it is doing some dbus start which seems to be the problem.

It is starting the dbus main loop here:
