This fix hasn't been incorporated yet, that I see.
Comment 5 Matt Wilson 2003-10-21 20:02:18 UTC 
in 2.4.0-3
Comment 6 Tony Ernst 2004-07-22 15:04:16 UTC 
Will there be an errata issued for this anytime soon?  I had hoped
that an updated gedit rpm might be included in RHEL 3 Update 2, but it
wasn't.  Thanks.

Tony:

Please grab package from:

http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/gedit-2.2.2-3.ia64.rpm

and report if it works...  This fix is currently targetted at RHEL3 U5.

Thanks!
