No, gedit itself is ligthweight, that word doesn't talk about dependencies, but about memory footprint and features, etc. (Ie. it doesn't include implementation of LISP, which every decent text editor must have :-). You are pulling whole GNOME just for Gedit anyway, and there are already many other packages depending on gnome which are in base GNOME installation (like alacarte menu editor which got promoted to be in default GNOME). If you really want dependency-lightweight editor you should try leafpad, which uses just gtk2.0.
