Dear Developers/Package Maintainers,

I use two computers at home. One machine is for editing texts, second is a
remote storage. The storage is accessed by NFS mount. I use autofs for
mounting. Sometimes the storage machine is powered off without umounting the
shared FS from the client side (where I usually edit texts). When this happens,
gedit fails to start until I reboot the computer. The unaccessible NFS mount
causes gedit unable to start.
