Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes it stopped working for me as well....

Try this:
$ gedit &
$ killall nautilus ; nautilus /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-17 &

Now, double-click the "GPL" file. A new gedit window should appear.

To allow you to resume your work afterwards, on another console, do:
$ sleep 15; killall gedit

Try to drag and drop the gedit tab "GPL" to the other gedit window.

Watch your mouse pointer freeze on drag mode, disabling it
effectively; keyboard does not seem to respond as well. After ~15
seconds, when gedit windows are killed, you'll get your mouse and
keyboard back.

Can anyone confirm?
