Just thought i would give it a bash since no one else has answered. Do you want to just open up gedit for general use from the xterm?

$ gedit

If you put an ambersand after it then that just puts that job into the background and brings up another prompt in the foreground so you can carry on with something else. For example if i type what you did i get..

$ gedit &
[1] 549

...which means that process '[1]' has been placed in the background 'bg' with the id of 549.

Maybe you should check your path for gedit '/usr/bin/gedit'. I remember when i first started using WindowMaker, when i chose apps from the menu i was getting all sorts of errors, eventually i had to edit the menu scripts a little.

Anyway maybe you know all this a i've wasted my time...hope you sort it out soon..

Cheers!!
