I have a problem with gedit. If I start writing a new file or edit an existing file the Save button and short cut to save is disabled. If I exit a modified document a dialog opens with the following text:
Changes to the document "<Name>" will be permanently lost. Saving has
been disabled by the system administrator.
The interesting part about this is that I can save the file from right clicking the document in the side panel.
I have tried removing gedit-related gconf from the terminal while logged out (rm -rf .gconf/apps/gedit-2/
), but it doesn't work.

It seems to be a user wide setting in Gnome that Gnome applications can see, and if they want, obey.
In Ubuntu-tweak:
Tweaks > Michellaneous
Disable save to disk
Without Ubuntu-tweak:
gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-save-to-disk
Return/Enter
