Similar to this thread on Unix & Linux the error is caused by “accessability warning” which is known as a bug.
The solution is to edit your ~/.bashrc file and put in the following line(s) (the comments (beginning with #) are optional):
# gedit error: ** (gedit:143): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility
# bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-qyusGiP2Dq: Connection refused
# As per: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/230238/starting-x-applications-from-the-terminal-and-the-warnings-that-follow
# This also speeds up gedit load time
export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1
The error message will go away and gedit will appear to load faster (at least on an Samsung Pro 960 bench-marked at 2.2 GBps on Linux and 3.4 GBps on Windows 10).
