I decided to see how much bloat I could trim out of my system and one of the first things to go was GEdit. I did end up using SciTE for my code editing but I also found another little gem for when all you want is a Linux equivalent to notepad.
It's called Leafpad and it's available at <A HREF="http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/" title="freeshell.org">http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/</a freeshell.org> or through the Gentoo portage tree.
If you want features, it's not for you. But if you want Windows Notepad with line-numbering and auto-indent support, it may be what you're looking for. (In other words, it's a light text editor with word wrap, line numbering, search and replace, unicode support, and auto-indent.)
