You are right.
But I'm not sure we need an option to select the default enconding.
I see 3 possible solutions:
1. remember the last encoding chosen by the user 
2. adding a gconf key to configure the default encoding (but not a user visible preference)
3. always use the current encoding as default (while saving).

What do you think?

Please, file a bug report against gedit in bugzilla.gnome.org and add a reference to this thread (you get the URL in the ML archive).

Paolo
