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

[Marius Gedminas]

This is also fixed upstream, I think:

    Problem:    Opening a window before forking causes problems for GTK.
    Solution:   Fork first, create the window in the child and report back to the
                parent process whether it worked.  If successful the parent exits,
                if unsuccessful the child exits and the parent continues in the
                terminal. (Tim Starling)

I've built the newest upstream from sources, and I can confirm that the
fix works fine: gvim (*without* -f) has a working global menu.

  Binary package hint: vim

  Whenever I launch gvim from a terminal in Unity, I get this message
  after a few seconds

    ** (vim:5800): WARNING **: Unable to register window with path
  '/com/canonical/menu/5400003': Timeout was reached

  The gvim window has a regular menu bar and doesn't use Unity's global
  menu.
