When I was using gvim the command shown in the documentation always worked for 
me, i.e.:

$ gvim --remote +:%(line)s:norm%(column)s "%(file)s"

The only difficulties I had were several years ago with registering the 
textedit:// protocol during the changes from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3. But that was 
unrelated to the gvim end of things.
