Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 16.04, with gvim 7.4.1689, I can open files over GVFS SSH
mounts (by going to `ssh://wherever` in the address bar in the file
browser and double-clicking on the file), edit them, and save them.
In Ubuntu 18.04, when I install `vim-gtk` and try to do the same thing,
I can open the files just fine, but when I try to save them I get a
message that Vim "Can't open file for writing".
If I check out the Vim source tree and build and install vim v7.4.1689,
which is what Xenial is shipping now, and use *that* gvim on Ubuntu
18.04, I can save over SSH mounts. I can also save fine from gedit.
Something is wrong with the gvim shipping with 18.04.
