gedit

I'm curious to find out what's going on here.

Push the [windows] key --> Dash pops up.
Type 'ge' --> 'Text editor' appears.
[Enter] --> Nothing happens.

With any other program, it launches the program.

Repeat the steps and gedit launches.

From terminal, gedit doesn't start. In the system monitor, it's 'sleeping'.

This happens in my session, in my wife's session on the same computer, gedit runs.

Any idea why gedit sleeps at the first launch?
