This may be due to something I have changed in my heavily modified system rather than this bug? But it just recently started. On this box which is my main one I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 using Metacity and Gnome flashback, Lately I have to use a different editor as I can no longer use Gedit from the terminal. I can however run it from the GUI menu, I just now tried to see. And It seems I no longer Have a zeitgeist directory so I suspect that is a good clue. I will fix mine, I just thought I should post this in case it helps someone.
