Title:
  Gvim displays lots of scary messages about UNITY_GTK_IS_MENU_SHELL

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When launched from a terminal the widely used text editor gvim
  displays lots WARNING and CRITICAL messages such as:

  ** (gvim:3608): WARNING **: (../../../lib/unity-gtk-menu-
  shell.c:176):unity_gtk_menu_shell_show_item: code should not be
  reached

  ** (gvim:3608): CRITICAL **: unity_gtk_menu_shell_handle_item_notify:
  assertion 'UNITY_GTK_IS_MENU_SHELL (shell)' failed

  This did not happen in 15.04. It is a most embarrassing bug. Gvim is
  an essential tool for many users.

  I am using Ubuntu 15.10 Beta 2.

  I expected to be able to use Gvim. Now Gvim pollutes the terminal with
  scary messages, and disturbs the messages shown by other programs
  running in the terminal.
