You're in the wrong list. This one is for developers who use the Gtk-OSX build system to make Mac application 
bundles of their Gtk-based applications, not for users.

I suggest that you raise the issue on the gedit support list and let their developers work with the 
gtksourceview devs to figure out what's going on.
