Bug#647585: vim-gtk: gvim fails to start in KDE if ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde is present

[Tobias Winchen]

Package: vim-gtk
Version: 2:7.3.333-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On Debian testing I noticed yesterday that gvim hangs on start using the KDE
desktop . Abort with CTRL-C sometimes open a regular vim in konsole.

Trying to start gvim with

gvim -u NONE -U NONE -N
gvim -u NORC -U NORC -N
gvim -u NORC -U NORC --cmd 'filetype plugin indent on' -N

has no effect.
gvim starts however for a new user with fresh KDE and when using other desktops
with the same user.

After removal of ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde  gvim starts as usual. This configuration
file is created by the gtk-qt-engine.

Installing vim-gtk 2:7.3.346-1 also shows the same behavior.


Best regards,


Tobias Winchen
