I'm able > to start gvim; could you confirm? Actually, I think this is because of a change in vim, but firefox also seems to be fixed:
I created /usr/local/bin/symlink-foo, a shellscript which contains #! /bin/sh set -e; echo "Called as: $0 $@" >&2; echo "Called as: $0 $@" >>/tmp/sym-foo; And a symlink to it: ln -s symlink-foo{,-symlink} Then told mozilla to open svn-diff.vim with symlink-foo-symlink, and got the following output: Called as: /usr/local/bin/symlink-foo-symlink /tmp/svn-diff-4.vim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
