Bug#814535: gedit --wait does not wait if gedit already running

Package: gedit
Version: 3.14.0-3
Severity: normal

Try these commands

$ echo foo > bar
$ gedit --wait bar
[...] should block until file bar is closed in gedit

If a gedit process is already running, the document will be opened as a new tab
in the existing process and the second gedit process will return immediately.
Instead, the second gedit process should block until the tab is closed. If it
returns immediately, "gedit --wait" becomes unsuitable to use as $EDITOR or as
core.editor with git.
