It sounds to me like you were almost there but need to configure EDITOR
in a manner where some editor is started that you want to use and that
supports jumping to a certain line from the command line.

Well, getting the GNOME information together took days of
experimentation and exasperated communication with the GNOME mailing
list.  It felt like a miracle to finally get all the pieces in place.
Having achieved a miracle, it probably did not even occur to me to turn
this into a friendly fool-proof miracle.  Sort of like "Moses, that's
great but I can't quite reach that codfish over there.  Can you part the
sea just a bit wider?"  So it's probably a good idea when someone else
who is not in absolute awe of what is already there gives this a bit of
a workover.
