Hi, 

If, first, I open a file, in gedit, using the file picker, then save, using the 
picker (under a name different from the name used for open), the file is saved, 
and gedit remains working.  For the remainder of the gnome session, 'save' 
options, using the picker, work correctly.  If I do not use the 'open', first, 
the 'save-as' will not work.  I have not yet launched gedit from a terminal, 
but, can do this, capturing the errors the dialogue throws.


Thanks,


Dave
