[Bug 1036001] [NEW] GVim tear-off menus don't work

[Marcus Aurelius]

Public bug reported:

The GVim text editor, as installed from the software center (I checked
with Synaptic and its package is vim-gnome 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2.1) has a
bug with its tear-off menus (occurs on Xfce and KDE, not sure about
Unity).

Steps to reproduce:

Open Gvim.
Click on the Edit menu.
Point to the Color scheme menu item (third from the bottom). A submenu will open.
Click on the first item of the submenu (the one that looks like “--------------------”). The menu will become a separate window.
Click on any menu item and notice that the color scheme of the window doesn't change at all. It changes correctly when the menu is used normally (without tearing it off first).
