The answer is still "no". :-)) That is mostly true in the bug
discussions, however the problem regarding use with Konqueror was also
mentioned, and considered to be a likely separate issue. 

If I open gedit with Nautilus, it opens without the additional tab,
and closes without any additional dialogue - in other words, it
operates properly when not run as root [which I'm not doing]. 

If I open gedit with Konqueror, it opens WITH the additional tab, and
closes WITH the additional extended close dialogue. [Not run as root]. 

Looks like it has to do with KDE. That is probably the reason why not
that many people are seeing the problem I mentioned. If you CAN open
gedit correctly with a right click on a txt file in Konqueror, I'd
like to know how you can get that to work in 12.04. 

As I mentioned, it looks like a compatibility issue between Ubuntu and
KDE. 

Thanks much for the help...
