Don't know really, but seeing how Gnome and it's apps, tend to minimize 
configurability and make everything as simple as they can (from their point 
of view) in an attempt to make them more "easier" to use, I seriously doubt 
that there is a way to change such "little" feature without trying to change 
the code itself.
You can however, try searching in "gconf-editor" registry for some variables 
that might change that.

These are some text editors for which I heard about from someone or tried 
myself. Guessing from your comments I assume that you are not seeking for 
some terminal or only X (emacs/vi) based text editors:

GTK2:
- Leafpad: http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/
- Geany: http://geany.uvena.de/
- Tea: http://tea-editor.sourceforge.net/
- Katoob: http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=Katoob
- Mped: http://www.triptico.com/software/mp.html

Qt:
- Kate: http://www.kate-editor.org/
- Cute: http://cute.sourceforge.net/

Java:
- Jedit: http://www.jedit.org/
[the rest of big the list]

Yet still I suggest, that you look for some IDE if not for other then to 
(more) automate and ease Makefile/project management.
Some time ago, I've been searching extensively for some free Linux IDE that 
could compare with at least with Visual C++ 6 (for example with sane code 
assist: easily listing class and function parameters without the need to dig 
for them every time in docs). I gave up the search, in fact I think there is 
no real alternative to MS VC++ in that sense (although there are some tries, 
most notably "Kdevelop"), the closest I could get are Eclipse with CDT 
plugin, which is by itself a bit unnecessarily overcomplicated and does a 
little slow (global) h/cpp file parsing, and Netbeans, not perfect but can do 
the job, somehow.

Good luck.
