I'm using dapper. I'd never used nautilus before (mostly stick to the command-line). I tried setting the different editor in nautilus, and now everything does open up in gvim (thanks). I still think this is probably a bug though? Why does "Text Editor" really mean "gedit?" It seems that Text Editor should really launch the editor defined by gnome- text-editor.
