Package: vim-gnome
Version: 2:7.2.245-2
Severity: normal
I have not used GUI vim for long time. Today I accidently launched
gvim from gnome-terminal and found there is a string "(as superuser)" in
the window title bar of gvim. Since "superuser" is an important word in
Linux world, I would like to file the report to verify the behavior.
To be specific, launching gvim from console will have a gvim window
whose title bar contains "xxx - GVIM (as superuser)" where xxx is the
opened file. If "-f" option is used, no "(as superuser)", however.
I have tested by using -u NONE -U NONE, and the problem still exists.
Fortunately, gvim seems not gets root privilege even "(as superuser)"
exists.
Thanks.
