[Bug 776499] Re: gvim gets no global menu, timeout warning on the console

[Santiago Franco]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 and I am using Unity.

when I run "gvim" or "gvim -f" from the terminal window I get none of
the usual 2 menu bars(icons and the "file, edit, etc".

When I run "gvim" from Unity application search window I do get the menu
bar with the icons but still not get the text menu bar.  I also use the
latex suite.  This means that when I open a latex file I can not get any
of the specific menu options for latex.

For the time being I am going to switch to gnome again.  I like unity
but this bug is a mayor problem for me.  Any chance any body can find a
solution?

Please let me know if you need any further input from me.

Also note that I tried adding the menu bar from inside vim (set
guioptions+=m) without any changes.

I also deleted the ~/.gnome2/Vim file as this created the same problems
for the previous ubuntu version.  It did not change anything as far as I
can see.

Thanks!
