OK. I tried that. And the doc opened stays in the workspace opened in,
and does not drag other gedit windows over.

But cut/paste still does not work right. Say I cut something from
Firefox. Then I go to paste it into a gedit window. What gets the paste
is the last opened gedit window, not the one currently 'active' (and I
had even typed some text into that window prior to the paste).

Where is this? I do not see any setting in Nautilus options. I do see
