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

[djwong]

Public bug reported:

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.
