Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

Recently, gedit fails at writing specific files over SFTP. When certain
files ARE writable (e.g. by group permissions, or because the user is
root) but not owned by the user directly, gedit kicks back in read-only
mode.

More cases of the problem can be found at the ubuntu fora:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5977042

An example:
server:/tmp# ls -la test 
-rwxrwxr-x 1 www-data www-data 0 2008-10-16 19:22 test
server:/tmp# groups tim
tim : tim dialout cdrom floppy audio www-data video plugdev admin downloaders

this is a file located on a remote server, but NOT editable by the user
"tim". It is also not editable by the "root" user.
