This is a rant post, and not a how-to. Gedit is a simple text editor for the GNOME stack. I remember reading somewhere about the old and new gedit interfaces. The GNOME team has this plan to reduce and hide functionality, and gedit shows some of the changes. Gedit used to have a toolbar, and the regular titlebar and menus. But Gedit after GNOME has changed their thinking has hidden its functions. I don't really use gedit, because my text editing is more console driven, or else I use scite.
