** Description changed: - Binary package hint: vim-gnome - After the first invocation of the GTK2-filechooser dialog, GTK's list of recently used files (~/.recently-used.xbel) gets written on events such as every single keypress, mouseclick etc. This causes considerable I/O activity and, when .recently-used.xbel is reasonably large, also a considerable slowdown of vim. - This affects the GTK2 flavor of vim as this bug is obviously specific to - GTK2. This occurs at least under Ubuntu 7.10 (vim- + This affects the GTK2 flavors of vim as this bug is obviously specific + to GTK2.
