Seems like it has something to do with unity or how unity is starting gedit at least, Mikkel it seems you started looking at it, do you want to own the bug for the unity team? ;-) If not feel free to unassign or reassign to somebody else in dx

It does appear on my second try. This is true when starting from the launcher, opening a document from a folder, or opening a file using the terminal. I can see gedit did started the first time; the process is running. If I start gedit using --standalone it does work the first time. This implies that default behaviour is to start gedit in the background. The file is ignored when gedit starts in the background, so a second call is needed to load the document.
