[Bug 781180] Re: gvim loses menu with Unity interface

[Adrian Wilkins]

This only occurs when you start gvim from a terminal. If you start gvim
from the Unity interface, or from Nautilus, the menu appears correctly.

As stated elsewhere, if you start gvim in the foreground, this doesn't
happen either.

Presume that what is happening is that the unity menu is attempting to
bind to the initially started process, but instead should be binding to
the process that gvim forks when you run it from the terminal.

Title:
  gvim loses menu with Unity interface

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:

  There is no menu bar for gvim when using the Unity interface.

  The error is:

  Sometimes the menu returns to the window and other times the menu never reappears.
