Bug Description

Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal with ppa:unity-team/release

Issue : Gedit application always opens 2 instances when

Action:-
-Have the gedit application on launcher
- Left click on gedit application launcher icon - this will open 1 gedit window
- Right click on gedit application launcher icon, click on "Open a new window" option

Observe: - The new gedit window opened will have 2 gedit tabs indicating 2 gedit instaces have been opened inside 1 gedit window.

Additional info - This issue happens only from the 2nd attempt onwards. First gedit window opened always has just 1 gedit tab. Only the 2nd attempt onwards, all attempts to open a new gedit window using right click on launcher icon will result in 2 gedit instances (2 tabs) inside 1 gedit window being opened.

This also happens in 12.04, not limited to Quantal, so not a regression.
