[Bug 877193] [NEW] gvim freezes when started from a terminal

[Jonas Ådahl]

Public bug reported:

After upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 I can no longer start gvim (from
vim-gnome) from a terminal. It freezes and I have to xkill / force close
it. I get the following message printed to the terminal window:

   The application 'gvim' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
   most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
   the application.

This makes sense, because I did kill/destroy the application.

If I start gvim from the unity lense it works as expected.
