I've ran the patch for a few months now with no issues. A new update has now reverted that so I have to go back and reapply it. Could the patch just be added to the ubuntu package and be done with it?

After updating to 16.04 when I open a file with say `gedit /tmp/myleakycode.c` it opens in a new window. Oddly, as I was writing this bug report it's now working I expect it to, where opening files on the CLI adds to my existing session. I'll follow up if I find some pattern as to what triggers this. I am running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 with the 4.4.0-21-generic kernel, gedit 3.18.3, terminator 0.98 to open the files.
