[gedit-list] No multiple instances? (and feat req's for non-multiple)

[Bill Paxton <goawaypleaseus yahoo com>]

Hi,

There were always serious editors and gedit was the
"notepad" of the Gnome desktop. I'm glad it's evolving
beyond a simple editor, however I cannot figure out
how to spawn multiple instances. (2.0.2 +)

Tabbed editing is only useful if you don't need
concurrent data from multiple files. Trying to start
another instance, even with"--new-window", just opens
another blank tab.

Assuming you can't be all things to all people... If
you no longer can spawn tens of instances...

On the tabs there's no easy way to see if you've
opened the same file 13 times; it always shows "blah"
on the tab without an instance number. Maybe append
"(1)" to the name on the tabs? 

Also tab sorting - when you have 30+ documents open
and you are using the side-scroll arrows to navigate,
it can get confusing.

Lastly, there's no easy way for someone to see the
Changelog. The sf project page hasn't been updated
since 1.120

Thanks for your time,

BP
