gedit's default save option

[Olafur Arason]

This is a bit of a hack but unicode seems to hardcoded so this should work:
touch /tmp/untitled;gedit --encoding="ISO-8859-1" /tmp/untitled
you can replace Exec=gedit %U with it in
/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop But if you need to use the icon
to drag documents into then
I can help you but I don't what to be mocking around with
testing if statements if I don't need to.
