gVim : multiple tab / desktop environnement integration

Hi.

I need of precision about gVim desktop environnement integration.
 
I use xfce/thunar (xfce file manager).
 
When I use gedit editor (set as default editor), when I open a file trought Thunar (right click/open with...), ifgedit is already running, instead of opening a new instance of gedit, gedit opens a new tab in the current instance.
 
When I set up gvim as default editor, with the same process, an instance of gvim is launched for each file althought gVIm supports multiple tab.

When I run it from command line,
 
gvim -p *.php
 
It works fine, one gvim instance, and severals tabs.
 
Trying to solve this issue can you explain me if gvim application support this feature ?

Best regards.
