You say to open as another user, for example root. Do you see the
problem with any user other than root? If I 'su' and run gedit, I see
the problem you describe. If I 'su - anotheruser' and run gedit, it
works normally.

Then, that would be the expected behaviour, I think.

Gnome makes use of some environment variables, and when you "su" they are
not updated to those of the new user, whereas when you "su -" they are.
