ok, this is on edgy and not on every installation. i could locate where the problem is. If the "File Browser Pane" plugin is installed and activated, gedit will check some files fom the recently used files list (also remote files) on start up, thus delaying it badly.
enabling the plugin turns gedit into the slick and lighweight editor i would like to have. Cheers, -S -- gedit takes 1 minute to open https://launchpad.net/bugs/80438 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
