Same bug here. gvim also starts normally when started with sudo. $ sudo gvim
I've created a temporary "fix" with the following command: echo alias gvim=\'gvim -X\' >> .bashrc This adds a line to the .bashrc which tells bash to start "gvim -X" when the command "gvim" is given. -- gvim hangs on start with gtk-qt-engine-kde4 and qt4 style https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270972 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
