Actually we implemented this, but we ended up disabling that for a
couple of reasons:
1 - it wasn't working properly :)
2 - enabling it incoditionally was confusing some of our users

I'm pretty confident that 1) is now fixed since we fixed "gedit +10 foo"
which opens a file and moves to line 10 and which uses the same code
path.
About 2) we should probably try again or at least add a GConf toggle for
it.


For now you can enable the feature by grabbing the source, editing
gedit-document.c in the function gedit_document_real_loaded and enabling
the bit of code that is currently commented out. Then compile and
install.


I think it should work, let me know if it doesn't.


Thanks for using gedit,

	ciao
