You can also do it by opening a first file (from nautilus), then moving the gedit window to an other workspace. After this, go back to the previous workspace, and open another file in the nautilus window. But I don't know if it is the required behaviour or not (it is useful if you want to work on 2 files together : launch 2 gedit windows and snap it to both sides).
(well, I just noticed that I can't reproduce exactly the bug you've reported, I have to switch to another workspace to open a second window. If I open one file from nautilus and one from the terminal in the same workspace, they go in the same window, in tabs. (this is on oneiric, with the lastest unity-shell)) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818461 Title: Some programs can't see their own processes (read description) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/818461/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
