[Bug 987707] Re: gvim in Precise can't connect to ibus and takes a long time to load

[DaveB]

Since for me the problem is just running gvim from a terminal, I have a workaround for that:
Add this to your ~/.bashrc file

function gvim() {
  nohup /usr/bin/gvim -f "$@" >& /dev/null
}

Title:
  gvim in Precise can't connect to ibus and takes a long time to load

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi.  I have a system with Ubuntu 12.04 (updated 24 April 2012), with
  the Chinese language packs and the pinyin ibus system installed.  The
  system has vim-gtk 2:7.3.429-2ubuntu2 installed on it.  When I start
  gvim with no arguments, the window appears on the screen, but it is
  not responsive.  After ~30 seconds of frozenness, gvim begins to
  respond again ... however, I can't use Ctrl-Shift to fire up the
  pinyin input system.  If I start gvim with "gvim -f" to prevent it
  from forking to the background, it starts up quickly and pinyin input
  works.

  This sounds like this is the same symptoms as bug #856779... but this
  is on Precise.  I'll attach the strace output from the failing case.
