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

[Mathieu Comandon]

It took me some time to figure out why my vim config suddently broke.
When I open gvim, the colorscheme should be set to molokai but it reverts to default. It turns out that if I revert the background to dark in /etc/vim/gvimrc. 
I could easily change this behavior if I used a ~/.gvimrc config file but I prefer having a single config file with a if has('gui_running') statement, the problem is that the config setting in /etc/vim/gvimrc overrides my ~/.vimrc

Is it really necessary to set a light background in gvim ? Pretty much
every colorscheme of vimrcs I've seen use a dark background, so why not
keep gvim the same as vim ?
