Like all X apps, you need both a running X server and a correctly set DISPLAY environment variable. The recommended way to do this is to install the 'xinit' package, then use the Cygwin-X\XWin Server shortcut to start the server and a terminal, from which you will be able to launch gedit (or anything else) without further steps.
