Title:
  gvim slow to respond

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “vim” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed
Status in “vim” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The bug makes gvim windows unresponsive to keyboard events for seconds to minutes after a window is opened. It happens every time a window is opened. It's annoying and makes gvim very difficult to use.

  Problem:    Opening a window before forking causes problems for GTK.

  [Development Fix]
  using patch from upstream v7-3-315.
  > 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)

  [Stable Fix]
  Retrieve upstream patch v7-3-315, a few minor changes to fit into current codebase.

  [Test Case]
  1. Open a gvim window
  2. Focus window and press arrow keys immediately after opening
  Broken Behavior: Arrow keys have no effect. Clicking around will move the cursor normally
  Fixed Behavior: Arrow keys move cursor

  [Regression Potential]
  N/A.

  [Original Report]
  Opening up GVIM takes long time and edit commands such as moving are very slow.
