[Bug 871907] Re: vim should have "set bg=dark" by default

[Michael Bienia]

I'm thinking about adding the following settings when I merge vim the next time:
- Add "bg=dark" to /etc/vim/vimrc
- Add "bg=light" to /etc/vim/gvimrc

Based on the last comment and my incomplete sampling with Ubuntu precise (dark background in gnome terminal and light background when using gvim).
It would be nice if someone could confirm (or reject) that these settings are a sane default for everyone (or at least most of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.).

Title:
  vim should have "set bg=dark" by default

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The default GNOME Terminal settings have a dark background.  When
  syntax highlighting is active, the text is difficult to read.  The
  default vim settings should work better with the default terminal
  settings.
