in scm/editor.scm you find

   (define editor-command-template-alist
      '(("emacs" .  "emacsclient --no-wait +%(line)s:%(column)s %(file)s || (emacs 
+%(line)s:%(column)s %(file)s&)")
        ("gvim" . "gvim --remote +:%(line)s:norm%(column)s %(file)s")
        ("uedit32" . "uedit32 %(file)s -l%(line)s -c%(char)s")
        ("nedit" . "nc -noask +%(line)s %(file)s")
        ("gedit" . "gedit +%(line)s %(file)s")
        ("jedit" . "jedit -reuseview %(file)s +line:%(line)s")
        ("syn" . "syn -line %(line)s -col %(char)s %(file)s")
        ("lilypad" . "lilypad +%(line)s:%(char)s %(file)s")))


Change the gedit entry to

        ("gedit" . "gedit +%(line)s:%(column)s %(file)s")
