So if you leave the snippets plugin it works reliably?  If you run [and
use] "gedit" from gnome-terminal what does the stack-trace /
error-message look like?

Yea, that won't fix it.  Unlike in Windows this is almost always a waste
of tme.

Adding removing packages never touches user configuration; that is a
feature.   I believe gedit still uses GConf [vs. the new DConf] so if
you use gconf-editor and delete the /apps/gedit-2 key (or its content)
and then start gedit you will probably go back to a default
configuration.

If the Fedora gedit has been ported to DConf then use dconf-editor to do
the same thing.
