I think it does, looking at this debian similar bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648913
Damien, assigning to you. Apparently a simple missing dependency.

thanks. I can confirm this solution to be working! Didn't expect it to be that simple, or in reverse a missing python package to crash gedit.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
Version: 2 => 3
Does this bug also available in gedit in Mageia 3? BTW, can't reproduce on cauldron.
