I have a file open on my desktop PC at home, which I want to read now I'm at work.
It's just some notes I started writing in a new document in gedit, it's not been saved (I don't think, anyway).
I have SSH and NX access to my home desktop. If I connect with NX I get access to my home desktop GUI but not to the session I have currently open with the document in it.
If you know or remember where you created the document in the first place, then maybe your editor has created an auto-backup/shadow file, which you could open remotely. At least that approach works in Vi[m]: for any open file, Vi creates .file.swp, which it periodically updates without user intervention (unless that feature has been disabled) - this can be easily read with "vi -r .file.swp", even though the original editor session is still attached. this is probably trickier if the file does not yet have a name, but I think it then creates a backup with a random filename in the interim.
Not much help with gedit, probably, but it's a suggestion nevertheless :-)
