The difference with vim-gtk is that it opens a window which is empty apart from a non-functioning menu-bar and a small scroll-bar in the top-left corner. It has a plain grey background and it's sized according to the geometry argument or the size of the calling terminal.
The window can be closed by using a window-manager's "Force Quit" feature but this does not kill the gvim process. Unlike vim-gnome it doesn't tie up a CPU core. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
