I've been trying to muck around with the gedit source code recently. I've successfully observed simple changes to the main source file, but whenever I modify other files they don't seem to actually be reflected in the executable. For instance, I type:

make and all the files I modified show up as recompiling. But then I run the executable and I don't notice anything different. I've commented out the interior of functions, but then the parts of gedit which relies on them still works. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

After that you probably need to try a "make install" in order to make your changes go live.
