 I'm downgrading the severity of this bug because it does not happen
 frequently.  The package is not completely unusable, nor does it break
 reliably everywhere.  I agree this is an important issue.

 This means that gedit or one of the libs it uses has corrupted memory.
 It seems to happen when the "Save as" dialog pops up.

 Can you reliably reproduce this?  How do you get the bug?
