Comment 4 for bug 570573

Wim,

Can you clarify when exactly gedit is being launched when you're expecting BZR_EDITOR to be used instead?

For most files in your working tree, Bazaar Explorer will fall-back to your desktop (GNOME in this case) configuration to decide which app to use to "open" a file. To explicitly define the tool to use to "edit" various files, configure editors.conf as explained here: http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/explorer/en/tutorials/customization.html#configuring-editors.
