[Bug 46078] Can't Open Text Files with gedit in Nautilus via gnome-vfs

[Richard Gabriel]

Public bug reported:

I cannot open text files (and sometimes other MIME types) from nautilus
with gedit (sql, txt, etc.).  No applications show in the contextual
menu by default.  When going to "Open With Other Application", gedit (or
"Text Editor") is not even listed.  gedit is also selected as my default
application in Properties, but when I simply double-click I get a
"Cannot Display" error.  I believe this was working previously, but
perhaps it broke with a recent update.  Here are the versions of related
packages that I'm running:

gedit 2.14.2-0ubuntu3
nautilus 2.14.3-0ubuntu9
lingnomevfs2-0 2.14.1-0ubuntu8

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Medium
         Status: Unconfirmed
