I suppose with "konq" you probably mean "konqueror". So which desktop 
are you running? KDE or Unity or even something else?

I'm not sure what you mean here - is it something like this?

... /usr/bin/gedit somefile.txt "untitled document 1"

If that's the case, there could be something wrong with the file type 
options for opening a file with gedit. I just tried the behaviour of a 
freshly installed gedit run from konqueror, and there was no extra file 
"untitled document 1". So please check the file type options:

>From konqueror right click the icon of a text file and select 
"Properties" and in the new window select "File Type Options". In the 
lower right selection area select gedit and on the right click the 
"Edit…" button. Select the "Application" tab and make sure that the 
entry in the line "Command" is "gedit %U". Click "OK" (several times) 
and check if it still opens the extra file "untitled document 1".
