Hi
I try to create a shortcut in Python which opens multiple files at once.

My current script opens the file I need, but it opens also an empty file and returns an error:

import subprocess

path01 = "/usr/bin/gedit"
file01 = "test.txt"
subprocess.Popen([path01,file01])

#returns error:
# (gedit:6555): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_get_capabilities:
# assertion `G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

How to fix it, plz?

Conditions:
- Ubuntu 11.10 / 64bit
- Python 2.7.2+

My conditions are same as yours, and the program works (of course I get this Gdk-CRITICAL message for all my gtk programs:
(gedit:27544): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_error_trap_pop_internal: assertion `trap != NULL' failed
Not obvious that it has any impact.)

You might try
$ sudo apt-get update

and does gedit work from the command line?

And why do you choose gedit when emacs is available?

I am not running it on my terminal - just on separate files.
My python file 'foo.py' contains the code above. It opens gedit with my 'test.txt' file + one more empty unnecessary no name file.
While running on Eric IDE it also asks to 'select the fork branch to follow'.

I need just the simplest, fastest, easiest, basic txt file editor - because I don't need any advanced actions on my text files. I want just to open multiple files on multiple apps from single shortcut.
