You need to alter .desktop shortcut:

  • Replace gedit %U with gedit -s %u.
  • Disable DBus activation.

The command line to do both modifications at once:

$ sed "s/\(Exec=gedit \)%U$/\1-s %u/;s/\(DBusActivatable=\).*/\1false/" /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.gedit.desktop | sudo tee /usr/local/share/applications/org.gnome.gedit.desktop
