Bug Description
Autosave doesn't happen if the document has *never* been saved. It should,
since data can be lost if there is a crash while an unsaved document is in the
editor.

Yes i can confirm that on gutsy (with enabled autosave option). To reproduce: open gedit, type a few characters and wait, kill it after some time. Seems it won't ever save anything.
I've run it with strace and, as far as i can tell, gedit never attempts to automatically save a new file.
