The answer to *that* question, as he wrote, is so that "when you start a second Gedit process, it opens a new tab in your current Gedit window instead of creating a new one".
And why should that happen at all ? If I wanted a new tab in the current Gedit window then I'd use whatever controls Gedit provides to get one. And to be able to do that Gedit doesn't need any IPC at all. If I start a new process that means I want I new window.
Ciao,
Perhaps there's a configuration setting that lets you toggle this? I really don't know. Under KDE some editors have this behavior on by default (Kate) while others don't have it at all (Kedit/Kwrite). But this is besides the point. There's legitimate functionality here that requires the use of dbus (or something similar). Whether you personally *like* that functionality is a separate issue. DR
