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

[Christophe Fergeau <teuf users sourceforge net>]

Hi,

I'm assuming that by "multiple instances", you mean "multiple windows".
You can open multiple windows in gedit by simply clicking on a tab label
and dragging it outside of the main gedit window (yeah, that's a well
hidden feature :p)

Hope that helps,

Christophe
