gedit

When I load GEdit, it is different from sudo GEdit. Normal GEdit gives me Gtk warnings in the console, and ithas a different look. When I install plugins on either version, it doesn't reflect on the other.

I tried removing gedit and reinstalling, but I get the exact setups (in other words, GEdit didn't actually go away when I removed it)

Any advice on how I can actually remove gedit and start over?

(I have tried sudo apt-get remove --purge gedit - no joy)
