Ok Sebastien,

1. Customise your window theme so that your window border is the default 'Human'
2. In nautilus click on a text file so that it opens in gedit
3. Go back to nautilus and click again on the same text file. The first gedit 
window will get focus and no new copy of the file will be opened

4. Change your window border to another theme, such as Glider
5. In nautilus click on a text file so that it opens in gedit
6. Go back to nautilus and click again on the same text file. A new gedit 
window will be opened with a new copy of the text file and a warning saying 
that another copy of the file is already opened.

Glider is not the only window border theme that shows this behaviour.
Neither opening the file in gedit  from cli nor from the Recent
Documents menu makes a difference. Nor does it using metacity or compiz.

As a side note, no matter what window border theme is in use, if you
have a text file opened in gedit in workspace 1, go to workspace 2 and
try to open it again, a new gedit instance with the usual warning will
happear. Is this an intended behaviour?
