Gedit refuses to start [solved]

Since some time Gedit refuses to start, either when opening a text file, or the prorgram as such. I get the following error when starting it from from the commandline:

 

>> gedit

Gtk-ERROR **: file ../../gtk/gtkrecentmanager.c: line 2248 (get_uri_shortname_for_display): assertion failed: (name != NULL)
aborting...

>>

I have no clue what this is trying to tell me. All other programs seem to run well (epiphany, abiword, gnumeric, gaim to just mention those in the gnome/gtk camp).

Thanks scarecrow. This occurs with gedit 2.16.0-1mdv. I have just verified that the problem is user specific (should have done that before posting). It turns out that all users except me can normally work with Gedit. Obviously I am the only user who want to use it.... This proves that it is (likely) not related to the program 9or librariers, but to some setting which is wrong for me.

 

Sugegstions where to look are very welcome
