Comment 7 for bug 425305

I got pointed to this bug by Tony, when I questioned why we had this block of code. I don't think that this bug is fixed like we think it is. Both subprocess.call and os.system block on program exit. The difference is actually on the gedit side.

If a gedit process is already running, the new process will return immediately. But if it's the first to be run, the gedit process will stay running until the window is closed.

So we'd need some extra logic to guarantee special behavior for gedit. Do we still care about doing this? (i.e. should we re-open this?)
