[Bug 776499] Re: gvim gets no global menu, timeout warning on the console

[Eduard Hasenleithner]

I see the problem in vim creating the gtk menu before the fork(). With
the original gtk menu this is no problem. But appmenu-gtk creates the
menu using dbus. Probably, the dbus connection for the global menu
creation does not survive the fork(). Or, if the dbus connection
survives the fork, it might be that the ongoing dbus transaction (i.e.
the menu creation) does not.
