"Should perhaps create something like "unsaved1~" in the .gnome2/gedit
directory,"

I'd prefer something with a datestamp in the Home directory.  In fact, I
think maybe all backup files should have a datestamp before the tilde,
and it can save multiple backup files.

For unsaved files, maybe there shouldn't even be a tilde.  We want it to
be easy to find.  If you close Gedit without saving, it will ask if you
want to save.  If you say no, there will be no emergency backup created.
So the only time this file will be created is if Gedit has something in
it and gets killed before you save.  In this case, the file should be
very visible and easy to find.

"and offer to restore it on next run, similar to OpenOffice.org, or
Epiphany/Firefox with tab sessions."

Yes!
