Apparently the latest branch of gedit already has quicklist support added.

Well I branched the latest gedit using bzr branch ubuntu:gedit. And in the folder data, there is the desktop file "gedit.desktop.in.in". If you open that file you will see the unity quicklist support "Open new window".

(Bringing over the comment and the patch from the duplicated bug report)

Gedit quicklist was patched by Bilal for 11.10 cycle[1] but was removed later on by the upstream[2][3].

[3]:http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/scm-commits/2011-August/644276.html

So, not sure whether this will be accepted or not.
--------
@Nekhelesh: The ubuntu:gedit you branched is out-dated.

This is what I got when I tried branching it:
>Most recent Ubuntu Precise version: 3.3.4-0ubuntu1
>Packaging branch version: 3.1.1-0ubuntu4
>Packaging branch status: OUT-OF-DATE"

@Barneedhar, ah that's the mistake I made. Sorry but I am new to Ubuntu development. However you say you are not sure if this will be accepted upstream. I'll report a bug report in gnome for this. Also since the user interface is in effect, I am guessing this wont be possible this cycle?

Thank you for your work on that, the reason it got reverted upstream is that custom groups should start with a X-, desktop-file-validate complains if you don't do that

Could you change the New... to X-NeW....
