Hoary - gedit no longer open files in tabs by default

I prefer the new behavior.  In warty (which I am still running), if
gedit is running in one
workspace and you run gedit in another workspace, the running instance
is moved
from the old workspace to the new workspace.  *That* is really
annoying. I've had to
use some extra command line arguments and aliases to get gedit to
behave nicely
with workspaces.  I think the new convention is: files opened from
within an instance of gedit
get put in a new tab in that instance.  Anything else starts a new
instance.  Not everyone likes
this behavior, but it seems clear and consistent to me.
